Timothy A. Green, 52, of Phoenix, passed away Saturday.

He was a working man through and through. Tim spent his life in the trash business, climbing into his truck before the sun came up and putting in long, hard days without complaint. It wasn't glamorous work, but it was honest, and he was proud of it. He believed in earning his way, doing the job right, and taking care of his own.

When the work boots came off, Tim knew how to enjoy life. He loved a cold Busch beer, a loud concert, and backyard pig roasts that always turned into a full blown party. His place was a gathering spot - good food, good music, and good people. If you needed a hand, a laugh, or a beer, he was there.

Some of his best days were spent fishing, especially on the water with his son Charlie and his close friend Del. He also loved four-wheeler rides with his kids, making memories the simple way. Tim enjoyed being in the garage, having a beer with his nephew Josh - they did everything together. Those were his kind of moments: no rush, no fuss, just being together.

Most of all, Tim was a dad. He raised his three kids the only way he knew how - by working hard, showing up, and doing whatever it took. He was proud of the young men and woman they have become.

Everything he did was for his family, and anyone who knew Tim knew that was the truth. He was a very simple man, and he was content with a simple life.

He was predeceased by his parents, Robert and Charlotte Green; and brother, Robert Green.

Surviving are his children, Shyanne and Charlie Green and Halana Sieber; siblings, Ron (Laurie), Connie Green, Jerry (Yvonne), and Randy (Millie);

nieces and nephews, Danny, Michael, Kristy, Jason, Jennifer, Michelle, Robin, Nicole, Brooke, Jerry, Morgan, Jake, and Josh;

great-nieces and nephews, Madison, Tanner, Charlotte, Emma, Jewels, Gabby, Austin, Nate, Alyssa, David, Alexander, Lucas, Magdalina, and Ezra.

Calling hours will be held on Monday, February 9, from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Falardeau Funeral Home, 93 Downer St., Baldwinsville.
