He introduced them to classical music, the arts and theater. He taught them the value of education and working hard. He was closely bonded with them and as their lives went on, he imparted his usual fatherly advice with a little touch of humor. As they began to get married and have families of their own a whole new world of amazement entered his life.

He was proud of his 4 grandchildren Scottie, Elaina, Atticus and Dominic.He felt fortunate to spend so much time with them. There were frequent visits to parks, the zoo, the waterfront and of course fish and chips. The pet store and toy store were a favorite. As was Husky's ice cream. They spent many vacations together at the Oregon Coast. One of the things that the grandchildren will remember the most is his love for books. He was always picking up a book and reading to them. Teaching them the value of words on a page.They all loved their Papa .

Especially his humor.

Tim had a very large extended family who also played an important part in his life. Family get togethers were always present and he looked forward to that time with them.

He loved reading, music and art. Trips to the Oregon Coast was a favorite. With his wife Julie they traveled to many places in Europe including France,Italy,Switzerland, Germany, Prague ,Austria. Hawaii was like home to them and they were fortunate to have spent lots of time there.

Tim enjoyed life. Not just as it came to him, but also what he made of it. He always use to say “ I was born with happy genes”. It was apparent in the way he went about his life. The person that he was will never leave us. He touched so many lives. Thank you Tim for being a part of us. We love you and will miss you always.
