James Richard Cristofolini, 69, of Latty, OH, formerly of Readsboro, VT, passed away October 22, 2025. He was born in North Adams, MA August 7, 1956. Jim spent 10 years in the US Navy from the mid-1970s to mid-1980s. He later went on to drive for Schneider National, a job which took him all across the country for the next 20 years, garnering him the distinction of reaching 1 million miles and beyond behind the wheel. Jim spent his later years retired, spending time with grandchildren. Jim was a faithful husband, loving father, and never said an unkind word.
Jim leaves behind his former wife, Robin Cristofolini; their son, James Richard Cristofolini II; daughter-in-law, Angel Cristofolini; daughters Elena Andorfer and Danielle Cristofolini, many grandchildren; his mother, Margie A. (Tower) Cristofolini of Readsboro, VT; a brother, Michael Cristofolini of North Adams, MA; and several cousins, nieces and their extended families in Vermont and Massachusetts.
Jim was predeceased by his brother, Martin, earlier this year; and their father in 2019.
Services for Jim will be held at a later date in the spring of 2026 at the Readsboro Village Cemetery.
