Born to Lyle and Rhoda Butler Good in Madison, Wis., Tim met his wife, Mary, in high school "and had four kids who he was very proud of," according to his obituary.
 
He enjoyed a 40-year tire industry career, holding a variety of executive positions in the OTR tire segment.

His favorite times were driving the boat for the grandkids to tube, watching them play sports and he especially loved the entire family gathering under one roof during the holidays. Tim had many passions in his life, including fishing, golfing, sailing, water and snow skiing, which he enjoyed sharing with his grandchildren."

Preceded by his parents, he is survived by his wife, Mary; children, Brian (Alecia) Good, Matthew (Rene') Good, Melissa (Josh) Willets and David (Qinghua) Good; and many grandchildren.
