In a 2003 interview, Timmer stated that there has been confusion between himself and another Dutch goalkeeper with the same last name, Henk Timmer.[5] Henry Timmer explained that many of his teammates call him "Henk" as a nickname and that when Henk Timmer was involved in a car accident, Henry Timmer was asked on multiple occasions whether it was him who had been in the accident.[5][lower-alpha 1]
Following his retirement from professional football, Timmer became a coach for SC Hoevelaken.[12] In 2019, Timmer modeled for Roots Fashion in Amersfoort.[13]
