He worked at Diamond Crystal, Delong Sportswear, and then at Fareway. In 1992, Tim met Lillian Pierson and they would share their lives together for the next 32 years. He enjoyed camping, feeding the birds, rabbits, and squirrels in his yard, and mushroom hunting. He was also a talented fisherman and shot a great game of pool. Tim was an avid fan of the Iowa Hawkeyes and the Green Bay Packers.
