Byrnes., he was a 1979 graduate of Lenox Memorial High School. Timmy was an inventor and an entrepreneur. He owned and operated Byrnes Vending for 40 years.

His love of country music was passed down to his daughters. He finished every night with a bowl of butter pecan ice cream. He loved the Mets, the Patriots, rounds of golf and anything NASCAR. Most of all, he loved sharing these passions with his family. Timmy loved meeting new people. He was known for his dry sense of humor, his quick wit and clever comebacks.
