Tim's obituary

Tim Raifstanger, 72, of Alford, MA passed away peacefully on January 19, 2023, surrounded by his family. 

He leaves behind his beautiful friend and wife of 49 years Jean (Wilcoxson), his two sons Kris (Aimee), Blake (Jessica), 3 grandchildren Chevelle, Sadie and Kasen, an older brother Johnny (Cheryl Larkin), his twin sister Robin Hare (Bruce) and sister Beth Larkin (Dickie ) , and his 97 year old mother Eunice, and many nephews and nieces.  

Tim was predeceased by his father John Raifstanger Sr. , And a niece Caley C. Larkin 

Tim worked for many years at his brother’s business Kwik Print. He also ran his own sporting goods store Four Seasons Sports. 

After retiring from Kwik Print he started a lawn service/plowing business which kept him as busy as he wanted. He also really enjoyed bartending for local caterer Rita Welch. 

His pride and joy was the beautiful home and gardens that he so meticulously maintained  Nothing  pleased him more than sitting in his sunroom watching his birds at the feeders and birdbaths and looking out over the paradise he created for Jean and the family  

And if you were lucky you might catch him cruising in his Corvette that he finally gifted to himself. 

He was so proud of his two boys Kris and Blake. Always ready to help them out if needed , usually without having to be asked. And his grandchildren Chevelle, Sadie and Kaysen were the lights of his life.  Just hanging out with them were precious moments he relished  

He was a modest man with wisdom beyond his years. His good nature and a great sense of humor earned him many friends -old and new.  Tim will be dearly missed. He was truly a spirit filled with light who believed that heaven was right here on earth.

 a celebration of life will be held in his honor at a future date.
