Tim was very close to his family and as a young man he enjoyed visiting flea markets with his dad; they found all kinds of treasures and sports memorabilia which he collected. As Tim got older he became quite a sports fanatic and he especially loved following the Bruins, Patriots, and Red Sox.

Tim was very proud of his children Jennifer, Kristan, and Bryan; he loved them with all his heart.
