Of particular interest to Tim is the opportunity to publicly speak about funeral service to area schools and civic groups. On several occasions, Tim has been invited to be a guest speaker at Phillipsburg High School career days and was also a guest speaker for the Phillipsburg Middle School Success Day several years ago, as an alumni of both schools who has achieved success following graduation. "It's always an exciting opportunity to speak to the kids who sit in the exact same places I have, and assure them that they can really achieve any level of success they want, just as I have achieved mine", Tim says. "In doing so, you walk away with a renewed realization of exactly what you have accomplished since you set you own goals, and you hope that you have inspired the kids to work hard and believe in themselves".

Tim resides in Phillipsburg with his wife, the former Lisa Minnich and their three daughters, Rebekah, Juliana and Abby and a son, Owen.
