Timmy then started working at Rosenfield's Jewish Deli in Rehoboth, Delaware over 2 years where he was a server and absolutely loved his work family and loved all of his customers and really enjoyed what he did.
Ever since a baby, Timmy would light up any room he entered. He was such a happy baby and had a laugh out of this world even as a grown man. His laugh was contagious. He loved family, work, his friends, traveling and he absolutely loved his dog Roman! He was a member of the LGBTQ community and loved Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj. He knew every word to every song. He was so full of life, always stood up for what was right and would help anyone, even if he didn't have it. He loved to cook and was excited to start his Youtube channel soon and his very own makeup line. He was very spiritual and had his own relationship with God. He was so genuine, big hearted, hard working and loved spending tome with his friend who he loved so dearly. Timmy was loved by so many. He has such a large extended family of aunts and cousins. Timmy would want everyone to live their lives to the fullest, love yourself, love your family, love others, show kindness and know Jesus loves you.
