His grandfather, also named Tim, was the founder of the franchise having started it in 1925. Tim's father was named after co-owner with brother Wellington beginning in 1930, but once Jack died in 1965, Tim, along with mother Helen and sister Maura, took over his father's stake in the team and Tim took the active role in day-to-day operations that his father had. At the time the younger Tim Mara took over, the Giants were in a state of decline, having just come off a two-win season that followed a trip to the NFL Championship game.
