Cherished father of Carolyn LeMay (Sean), Mike Shanahan (Heather), Kevin Shanahan (Christine), Kathleen Prentice (Drae) and Maureen Weissenboeck (Mark). Treasured Grandpa of Rebecca, Travis, Brodie, Kendra, and Jeremiah; Taylor (Spencer), Matthew, Jacob, and Abbey (Ethan); Brianne (Aiden); Madison (Brian), Zachary (Shelby), Megan (Connor) and Maya; Dean and Grace.

Tim was a long-time member of St. John the Evangelist Parish in Woodslee. Tim and Isabelle operated Pine Grove Farms for over 30 years where many people enjoyed a hayride driven by Tim. His other passion was showing his All-American Belgian Horses for over 50 years with his son Kevin. Tim retired from Chrysler in the United States in 1981 to pursue farming full time. Tim truly loved his family especially his grandchildren and great grandchildren; they always were able to put a smile on his face.
