Tim, as he was affectionately called by family and friends, was a 1967 graduate of C. A.

During his tenure, Tim rose from the rank of Private to the rank of Sergeant, and earned the Vietnam Service Medal, the Bronze Star Medal, the Air Medal, National Defense Service Medal, and the Vietnam Campaign Medal.  After receiving an Honorable Discharge from the military Tim worked as a machinist at both Rockwell International for 25 years and Spirex for 5 years until he retired.

Tim accepted the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ at an early age, and he attended both Greenview Baptist and Green Hill Missionary Baptist Church.

In May 1969, Tim was united in holy matrimony to the love of his life, the former Patricia Smith.  They were married one month short of 55 years. They were blessed with two sons, Warren (Tommy), and Rodney.  Tim and Pat loved playing bid whist, bowling, going to Casinos, and being with their family.

Tim was an avid sports fan, he enjoyed watching golf, he was a Dallas Cowboys fan, and he loved visiting family and friends.  One of Tim’s favorite holidays was New Years’s, this was his holiday to cook and share his favorite meal with his family.  After retirement, Tim enjoyed being there for his grandchildren and being the best Papa.
