The Garden State Rural Carrier

 Tim served the NJRLCA numerous years as both the President and Vice President. He was also the Local Steward for his office, Barnegat and an Area Steward for NJ. During the 2001 National Convention, held in Atlantic City, NJ, he served as Chairman of the Budget, Finance and Tours Committee. He was Co-Chair of the South Jersey District Joint Steering Committee and a member of the Eastern Area Joint Steering Committee for the QWL/EI process. He also served on numerous committees at various National Conventions. Tim brought out the best in everyone around him and dedicated several decades of his life to our union. He will be greatly missed by all who had the chance to meet him. 

Tim loved to play golf and played every chance he got. He played and won, many times, during the Golf Tournaments held each year at the National Conventions.  Anyone could tell you he was a very competitive and an outstanding athlete. He also enjoyed gardening, woodworking, and spending time with his family and his many black cats.

Tim was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and brother. He retired from the Barnegat Post Office in 2018 after 38 years of service and it was at the Post Office where he met the love of his life, Sally, also a Rural Carrier.

 He is survived by Sally, his beloved wife of 22 years, their children Andrea Russomanno (nee Miller) and her husband Ron, and Greg Miller and his wife Laura. Tim is also survived by his grandchildren; Laney, Santino, Nickolas and Dustin, his siblings; sisters Debbie Nielson, and her husband Chris, Julie Keizer and her husband Ron and his brother Joe Horner and his wife Denise as well as his many nieces and nephews. 

A Memorial Service was held at the Waretown United Methodist Church on Thursday, June 27 at 2 p.m. 

In lieu of flowers, donations in Timothy’s name may be sent to an Animal Rescue of your choice.
