His proudest accomplishments included watching his daughters, grow into responsible adults and cherishing every moment spent with his grandchildren, Lenora and Levi Tims passion for life was evident in everything he did, whether it was supporting the New England Patriots, enjoying the melodies of Aerosmith, or creating lasting memories with his family through trips to Disney, beach outings, and camping adventures.
