When his daughters were young attended their sporting events never missing a game. Cuba was a very important part of Tim's life and he quite often spoke of Cuba's history telling of days past. He enjoyed his tours of Cuba Lake both by car and by pontoon boat. He was a true supporter of what Cuba had to offer. After retiring he loved playing cards, especially bridge. He will be remembered for having a catch phrase for everything.
