Despite enduring daily struggles with debilitating back pain, he remained steadfast in his commitment to those he loved. Tim and Janine faced and overcame many life and health challenges together which strengthened the deep bond they shared.
A devoted New York Giants fan, Tim, rarely missed a game. Janine was always wondering how the rest of game day would turn out, a Giant’s win would result in Janine getting whatever she wanted, however should there be a particularly abysmal Giants performance Janine would exit stage left. Tim was always reading and challenging himself, he was known to spend time every day doing the crossword puzzle in the Daily News.
Tim was a lifelong admirer of Elvis Presley, especially his gospel music, which brought Tim comfort and joy. He loved to sing along to Elvis’s songs and was known to entertain family and friends with his Elvis impersonations, often using his quick wit to make those around him laugh.
