After high school, he went to work offshore on the oil rigs as a cook for 4 years.  He started with Clinton Mills in Geneva, AL, known as the "Cotton Mill" in 1979 and worked there for 22 years until the last whistle blew.  He then went to Micolas in Opp, AL for a while before ending up at Lincoln Fabrics in Geneva, AL. He helped to open and set up operations at the plant.  He took great pride in making Kevlar for bulletproof vests for our men in blue and our troops.  Tim spent most of his childhood in the woods squirrel hunting with his father, when he wasn't in the flower garden or kitchen with his mother. He loved to go to the casinos in Biloxi, MS and would often go with his sister, mother and niece.  He enjoyed fishing, growing beautiful daylilies, and spending time with his family. He was adored by many and will truly be missed.
