Tim was born on December 21, 1955 to Delbert and Melba (Larson) Boock in Breckenridge, MN. He grew up and attended school in Breckenridge and graduated from Breckenridge High School in 1974. He attended Brainerd Vo-Tech for one year and returned to Breckenridge to take over the family business, Boock & Sons Tree Service, when his father was ill. Tim was united in marriage to Barbara Thimjon at Breckenridge Lutheran Church on May 1, 1976. He ran the tree service until 1984 when he started his career with Minn-Dak Farmer's Coop. He was presently still working there and was very proud to earn his Chief A Boiler Engineer's license.

Tim was a member of Breckenridge Lutheran Church. He was an avid outdoorsman and motorcycle enthusiast which took him to Sturgis in August. Tim was a very skilled craftsman who was able to envision something and build it from scratch. The best thing he built was his family, of which he was very proud.

Tim is survived by his wife, Barb, Breckenridge; his sons, Allen (Lynn) Boock and their daughter Sarah, Moorhead, MN, Robert (Amanda) Boock and their daughter Nora, Fort Dodge, IA; his father, Delbert Boock, Moorhead, MN; his brothers, Ronald (Barb) Boock, Bemidji, MN, Christopher Boock, Moorhead, MN.
