Timothy was a superb athlete, excelling in swimming and football at St. Andrews Preparatory School in Boca Raton. He graduated from Florida State University and received a Masters in Fine Arts from the University of Northern Colorado. A gifted artist, he devoted his life to both creating art and teaching it in Central Florida public schools. His incredible gift for humor made him an entertaining, effective, beloved teacher who was awarded a trip to Japan for his excellence in teaching.
What Tim loved most in life was making people laugh. There will be no service, but may the sound of laughter always be a reminder of his great spirit.
