Tim retired from ARI after 13 years and was a former employee of Sunlite Casual Furniture for 23 years until its closure. 

Tim was a great son, husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend - and he was loved by all. He enjoyed spending time with his family during family get-togethers and holidays. He also enjoyed traveling, going to the beach, camping, car shows, NASCAR races, Razorback football, St. Louis Cardinals, and last but not least, decorating the yard for Halloween, Thanksgiving & Christmas so his grandchildren and others could enjoy. He also attended his kids' and grands' events or sporting events whenever he could, and there were many. 

He was preceded in death by his father, Terrell Whiteside, grandparents, Earl & Hazel Greathouse, and brother-in-law, Jim Luke.
