He enjoyed sporting events and was a fan of the Pittsburgh Steers and Penguins; the Penn State Nittany Lions football team; and the Pitt and Duke basketball teams. An avid outdoorsman, he enjoyed archery, going to the mountains in the Allegheny National Forest, Fairs and attending dirt track races at Sharon Speedway. He also enjoyed attending the local Truck and Bike Nights. Tim was a patient man (particularly when deer hunting) and will be remembered by his family for his loving, caring and generous ways.
