Tim was born in Brooks, Alberta October 6, 1958, to Adrian van Tol and Ramona Helen Dyck. Tim had a love of music, drums, piano and string instruments. He loved motocross in his early teens (though he tumbled and flew away from his motorcycle a few times). Tim always tried to learn new things, he took Karatedo when he was older, he never did like camping though. He loves cars, trucks and all things related to vehicles, tools and such. He did his own electrical installations and carpentry (to our never-ending house reno/repairs).
