Tim was "born" to be a mechanic, and was proud of his profession, all who knew him can attest to how much he loved cars. He served on the Bridport zoning board and loved his time leading the cub scouts in his earlier years. He loved the freedom and wild spirit of the old time Vermont; history of any kind was a passion of Tim's although never perusing it he was proud of the native blood coursing through his veins. Per Tim's wishes there will not be any services. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Addison County Hospice.
