Tim graduated from York Suburban High School as part of the class of 1980 and from Thompson Institute with an associate’s degree. He worked at Crabtree, Rohrbaugh, & Associates Architects in Mechanicsburg for 17 years as a director of construction administration. Tim was a member of Grantham Brethren in Christ in Mechanicsburg since 2007. He was a very godly man who trusted in and loved God; always living by the Golden Rule. Tim was honest and had a moral compass that drove him to do the right thing always. He was a true patriot and really loved his country. Tim had a passion for animals and being outdoors, whether he was hunting, camping, surf fishing from the beach, or golfing. He greatly enjoyed the beach and spent many happy moments with his family at the Outer Banks and Assateague Island. Tim was an avid Pittsburgh Steelers and NASCAR fan. He liked to read and he was particularly fond of Tom Clancy novels, The Bourne Identity Series, and anything in the history genre, especially the Civil War. Tim was a kind-hearted, warm, sensitive, and tender man who had nothing but kind words to say. He had a crazy sense of humor and he loved to make his family laugh because he wanted them to be happy as well as feel loved. Tim was his family’s rock and he will be missed dearly.
