Tim was the 4th of 6 siblings. He was the older of a set of identical twins.

While attending college, Tim worked at Twilight Security Inc of San Francisco CA as an alarm technician during summer breaks. He credits his customer service experience at Twilight as a deciding factor for employment at Hewlett-Packard. Right out of college, he was recruited by Hewlett-Packard in Palo Alto as a Computer Engineer where he worked for 30 years. He was a volunteer member of the Belmont CA CERT Team (Civilian Emergency Response Team). With his engineering background, he provided his technical expertise and support by upgrading their Emergency Response trailer. This trailer upgrade was regarded by other CERT Teams as the “standard” to follow. He also provided technical support for the City of Belmont’s access control system overseeing the ID Card design and overall implementation. Tim enjoyed designing and creating meaningful projects which improved safety or quality of life. He also enjoyed photography, eating out with family and friends. He is survived by brothers Brian and Tom, sisters Marilyn and Sue, sisters-in-law Deborah and Syd, nephews Alex and Vincent, nieces Bonnie and Jacqueline, and grandnephews Duncan, Alex and Cooper.
