On July 19, 1959 this beautiful little boy was baptized at Grace Lutheran Church at the age of 3 months and became a confirmed member at the age of 14 years old.
Timothy graduated from Central High School and studied Music with an emphasis in Voice at the University of Evansville. He was employed by Red Spot Paint & Varnish Company and later worked in Security at Casino Aztar.
Timothy’s beautiful voice moved many people. He sang in the Jr. Choir at Grace Lutheran Church and then in the famous “Sounds of Grace”. Many said his voice made the day at Weddings and other functions. When he sang with the Sounds of Grace Choir, he performed in different venues throughout the country including churches where he moved people to tears and to laughter. Timothy, who many called “Boss Big Chocolate”, was a humorous, caring person, who drove a studded black car. Tim Eric is probably saying about now, “Settle down Mama, settle down.”
