Outside of work, Tim enjoyed restoring classic cars and watching NASCAR racing.  He also loved spending time working in his yard and fishing througout the Michiana area.  Tim always took the time to help those in need. He will be remembered as a man of few words, but those who knew him best always felt the love and generosity he shared with them.
