Tim was a loyal employee at the Centralia Sentinel newspaper for many years, where everyone loved him. An avid outdoorsman, Tim looked forward to time spent in nature, fishing, and hunting deer with his family. Watching Nascar and wrestling on television was great entertainment for him. Tim was always on the hunt for a slot car set up to add to his crew. He was a collector of ducks for his Jeep, and couldn’t pass by one to add to his collection. Tim had a sharp mind, easily putting puzzles together and building models from scratch. He loved to cook sharing amazing food from what he called Wimbo’s Kitchen. Tim loved good classic rock music, turning up KSHE 95, listening to all his favorite songs while at the point. Tim was the very best loving PaPa to his grandkids, spoiling them any chance he got, and supporting them completely. He loved his entire family one hundred percent and would do anything for any one of them. Good, fun times spent with Tim will be never forgotten.

A private burial will take place.
