In 1974, Timothy wed Susan Gail Stalter of Perrysburg (who preceded him in death in 2010.)
Timothy became active in Masons and was raised to Master Mason by the Sylvania Pyramid Lodge in 2004. He remained active until succumbing to illness.
Timothy is survived by his fiancé Dr. Irene Skulas, and their "fur children" Lauren, Lizzie, Princess, and Rocky.
