In his earlier years, Tim loved to ride his old Harley Panhead with his buddies.  Here in VT he enjoyed breeding and raising Tennessee Walking Horses and working on his home and property.  Tim was an avid believer in the 2nd Amendment and as such was a lifetime member of the NRA and the California Rifle and Pistol Association.
