Along his journey in life, Timothy met his soulmate and the love of his life, the former Ms. Hanife Rustemi who soon became his wife and the mother of their loving children who never left his side. Their love and bond for each other was unbreakable and inseparable and this was proven to be a true fact when Mrs. Tuck sit at her beloved husband bedside more than three months hand in hand making sure he knew she would always be at his side through sickness and in health just as her vows stated. As he made his grand entrance through those pearly gates, Mrs. Hanife Tuck released her husband's right hand and gave him her final kiss with a broken heart, but knowing he was in a better place with the Almighty God. No more pain and no more suffering. Timothy was well known for the love he had for his family and his energetic spirit, especially when it came to cars.
