Tim was born in Prince Albert, SK and grew up in Winnipeg. He worked for a time as cook for Salisbury House in Winnipeg but for most of his life he worked at the Canadian National Railway (CNR), rising to the position of Yardmaster.

Tim was well known in the Windsor Park area and in the local hockey community for his leather work. Many a set of hockey gloves and goalie pads were given a second life thanks to Tim's rebuilding and repairing that made old leather, new again. Tim enjoyed going to the States. Camping trips to Lake Bronson with the family or just going to Grand Forks for a weekend of shopping. In retirement Tim continued to enjoy travelling and he and Fran were fortunate to go on a number of cruises and holidays to warm weather locations with Hawaii being his favorite.
