Tim was a dedicated member of Boston Carmen's Union, Local 589 where he took great pride in his craft of building and maintaining railroad tracks. Through his 19 year career at the MBTA, he built not only a strong reputation for his skill and work ethic, but also his countless lasting friendships. Tim's commitment to his union and his work reflected his deep sense of responsibility, integrity, and the value he placed on supporting both his coworkers and the communities he served. In his last few years at the T, Tim pioneered a training program that will inspire future MBTA trackmen for generations to come.

A recognized authority on his many talents of fishing, entrepreneurship, carpentry and cooking. Tim was a life-long learner and when a subject interested him, he would throw himself into every topic. Making him the man who could strike up a conversation with anyone and become instant friends by the end of said conversation. While Tim could make friends anywhere his true superpower was his loyalty to his life-long friendships. Tim believed to have true friends was to be one.

Tim's love and admiration for his family is something that people will write books about one day.
