He was employed many years with Glenayre Electronics, Inc. in Quincy, Illinois, and concluded his career in Pennsylvania to be near his sister, Karen Doran.
Tim was a motorcycle enthusiast and enjoyed being on Current River; however, music was his passion. In 2013 he created the "Music In The Park" program in downtown Doniphan, regularly recruiting many local talents to entertain the general public on warm Friday evenings from late spring to early fall. Tim also volunteered to manage the sound at many public events and was the sound engineer at the Doniphan United Methodist Church.
