Tim was a devoted Iowa Hawkeye fan and always was cheering the Hawks on to victory, especially during the NCAA basketball tournament, and always showed his “Hawk pride” with his “Hawkeye Gold” Hummer. He also enjoyed traveling to Las Vegas to attend the Country Music Awards and watching the Rodeos.
