Our weekly series, Remembering Our Veterans, continues with the story of Tim Pennfield, an Army veteran and local business owner.

Tim served 13 years in the U.S. Army, following in the footsteps of his father-in-law, a fellow Army veteran.

He joined the military right out of Conneaut Valley High School in 1986 and specialized as a metal worker during his tour of duty.

Tim and his wife now own and operate Butch's Diner in North East, named after her father, Butch, who passed away six years ago. Tim still thinks about the people he served with and the experiences they shared.
