Tim had a nickname for EVERYONE and was lovingly known as “Headly Lamar” among friends and family and as “Grumpy” to his grandchildren. He loved to be with people, especially his children and grandchildren. He was the life of the party with his quick wit and wealth of knowledge. He loved a good time and enjoyed classic rock.
During high school and college, he played lacrosse and football and continued playing well into his adult life. He was an enthusiast when it came to teams in New England and was such a dedicated fan of the Patriots that he left a vacation early to attend a playoff game for “his team.”
He was proud of his large collection of team jerseys.
Tim was a civil engineer and construction supervisor for his company, Scavone Excavating, having previously worked with his family in their construction company, Scavone Associates and Scavone-Cali. He enjoyed being close to God and attended Mass at Our Lady of Angels Church.
