His career was cut short at the age of thirty-eight after he collapsed at the home of widowed mother, Ann L. Greening (born October 20, 1942), then of Haughton.

Born in [[West Point]], [[New York]], Greening was the son of the late Lowell Thomas Greening. He began as a copy boy at ''The Times'' in 1986, on his graduation from Haughton High School. In time, he began to write sports, neighborhood, and feature stories. In 1993, he graduated from Louisiana State University in Shreveport and was eventually given his own column. His obituary describes him as "gentle and loving. His unique insight and keen wit were unequaled. He had a [[God]]-given gift to see the humor in everyday life. Tim brought so much joy to everyone's life and will be sorely missed." His last column appeared in the [[newspaper]] on April 20, 2007 - a [[satire]] on the [[Internal Revenue Service]] and wasteful [[government]] spending.
