Timothy Brooks Rissetto

Timothy Brooks Rissetto, 64, of St. Augustine, FL, passed away peacefully on March 26, 2020. Timothy was born on May 7, 1955, to Henry Rissetto and Ruth Rodger in Ridgewood, NJ. Timothy was an alumnus of Westwood High School in Township of Washington, NJ and also attended Bergen Community College in Paramus, NJ. He married his wife Barbara Mary Stapleton of Township of Washington, NJ on October 21, 1978. Timothy was a public servant for most of his life. A veteran of the New Jersey Army National Guard, Timothy served numerous years in the 50th Armored Division as a cavalry scout, having earned the Armed Forces Reserve Medal before being honorably discharged at the rank of Sergeant. Timothy also served his community for 20 additional years with the Passaic County Department of Corrections, where he retired as the Lieutenant of Corrections. He also volunteered for the Ramsey, NJ Rescue Squad. An unwavering patriot, Timothy loved his country and proudly displayed the American flag 24 hours a day at his residence. Timothy was a long-time resident of Ringwood, NJ where he raised his three children while serving in the Department of Corrections. He was an avid tinkerer – always close to his garage and workbench – and enjoyed working on cars and motorcycles, and even started his own small electronics business. He also loved the outdoors and respected the earth and nature – his children never saw him hurt a fly. Timothy moved with his wife to St. Augustine, FL in 2011 where he enjoyed several years of retirement up until his death. Timothy is survived by his loving wife Barbara (nee Stapleton) of 41 years; his three children: Kristen Livria and her husband Louis of Ringwood, NJ and their children Roxanne, 12, and Louis, 10; Lark Krajeski and her husband Jake of Brookline, MA; Timothy Rissetto of St. Augustine, FL and his daughter Kylie, 4; his three siblings: Lisa of California, Amy of New Jersey, and Peter of New York; his cousins Kerry of Colorado and Steven of California; and his two dogs, Lanta and Dusty. He was predeceased by his cousin Robin of California. Due to the current global health crisis, all services will be held privately. In lieu of flowers, the family is kindly asking for donations to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, 1500 Rosecrans Avenue, Suite 200, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266.
