Tim was a 1969 graduate of North Central High School and received his BA in Finance and Marketing in 1975 from the Kelly School of Business IUPUI with high honors. Besides loving his business life, two of his many passions were for St. Mary’s Child Center, and St. James the Apostle Church in Lepaterique, Honduras. St. Mary's Child Center, Tim provided past business solutions, was a Godfather to the children and was Director Emeritus on the Board. Tim was dedicated to the people of St. James the Apostle church in Lepaterique, Honduras.

St. James is the sister parish of St. Monica Catholic Church and a visiting fellowship more than a mission trip was established there in 2006.

A Legacy Fund has been established in Tim's name for this visiting mission and fellowship group. Contact Barb Bacon with St. Monica Church at 317-253-2193 x2 for details.

Tim's passion for life was great and varied. He loved snow skiing, traveling, car racing, an occasional good cigar, exotic locations and adventures, but most of all spending time with his family and friends. Tim was a patient and kind man, who always had a yearning to learn about others and help where he could.
