Tim grew up in Three Mile Bay, New York where his backyard was Lake Ontario. He spent his summers sleeping in the boat house which had living quarters in the upper level...... A Boys Dream!

Tim enlisted in the U.S. Navy following high school. He was very proud to have served his country for eight years. Tim's last patrols were on the USS Greenling SSN 614, a fast attack submarine. He had many stories to tell! Tim married Eileen M. Veres on September 14, 1963 at St. Mary's Church in South Milwaukee. The couple moved to Two Rivers in 1969 where he worked for the Point Beach Nuclear Plant until retirement. He found Lake Michigan shortly after moving to Two Rivers. Fishing was his first love, but he enjoyed all things in the outdoors which also included hunting, boating (sailboating), canoeing, camping, and trips to the U.P.
