Tim or "Hambone" as he was affectionately call, was a loving husband and caring father, grandfather and brother. He found great joy in the simplest of things of life, but his greatest joy was his family, especially his grandchildren. They were the 'apple of his eye'! Tim was known as "Hambone" by many people in the CB radio world. Throughout the years, he acquired many friends thru the waves of CB communication. Tim enjoyed electronics and his favorite piece of electronics was the TV remote control.  He always made sure it was handy so he could watch his favorite TV shows such as Combat, Andy Griffin and westerns. Tim was a people's person, and he never met a stranger. He enjoyed spending the weekends at White Lake relaxing and talking with people. Tim will surely be missed but treasured memories will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
