Timothy L Glynn, 86, died peacefully on October 24, 2026, at Ledgewood Bay Assisted Living/Memory Care surrounded by his loving family and friends.
Born in Everett, MA, Timothy grew up in a large family of seven. He attended high school at Our Lady of Pity in Cambridge, MA before continuing his education at a Business School. In his early years he worked at Newhall Drug before becoming a Collector. Timothy later began his long and remarkable 49-year career at Century Bank as the Senior Vice President of Loans.
Timothy had the privilege of helping countless individuals and families take important steps in their lives, including their first homes and businesses. He was part of people’s milestones and helped make their dreams become a reality. He also devoted many years to serving his community as the President of the Malden Planning Board.
Timothy was an avid bowler, card player and loved to drive his “49” Mercury. He loved music and would hum and sing along. He enjoyed watching golf, game shows, cheering on the Red Sox and he appreciated Judge Judy’s refreshingly blunt and direct verdicts.
Timothy will be remembered for his big beautiful blue eyes, his Irish Scali cap, his outlandish tall tales, and more than anything, his unwavering love and devotion to his wife, Barbara. Timothy and Barbara shared 65 wonderful years of marriage, but their love story began years before then. They started dating at 15 years old, beginning a lifetime together that would span more than seven decades and three beautiful children. They were truly inseparable. His devotion was evident from the beginning, when he walked every day from Everett to Medford to be with her. He never missed an opportunity to sweep her off her feet on the dance floor, spoil her with new jewelry during their twice-yearly trips to Aruba, and the traditional new shirt for their weekly dinner dates. Their relationship was a beautiful example of a love that grew stronger with time.
Timothy was the son of the late Allen “Frank” Glynn and Caroline Rooney. He is survived by his beloved wife of 65 years, Barbara (Whelan) Glynn; his children, Deborah Caristinos and her husband Dennis Caristinos, Doreen Burke and her fiancé Mark Cronin; and predeceased by his son Timothy Glynn Jr.; his grandchildren, Joseph Burke and his wife Samantha Burke, Ryan Burke and his fiancé Oliver Lou, Angela Caristinos and her partner Joshua Hansen, Danielle Faustino and her husband Michael Faustino, Christopher Caristinos and his partner Kelsey Estabrook, Amanda Depin and her husband Mark Depin, Matthew Caristinos and his partner Brianna Leo and many great- grandchildren. He is survived by his siblings, Elizabeth Hannon, Florence Ryan, Rosemary Baglio, Allen Glynn and wife Barbara Glynn and predeceased by Carolyn Glynn and John Glynn. He leaves behind adoring nieces and nephews, extended family, and friends.
Relatives & friends are invited to attend his funeral from the Breslin Funeral Home, 610 Pleasant Street, Malden on Thursday October 29th at 9 AM followed by his Funeral Mass celebrated at Immaculate Conception Church, 600 Pleasant Street, Malden at 10 AM.
