Timothy Arnold “Tacky” Quint, 75, passed away on Thursday, Nov. 5, 2026, after a long struggle with his health. A devoted husband, father, grandfather, teacher and coach, Tim loved his family, his dogs, his community and his country. He believed in people and spent his life showing up for them. A true patriot of his community.
Born on June 12, 1951, at Memorial Hospital in North Conway, N.H., Tim held a lifelong love for the Mount Washington Valley. To him, being there was, as he often said, “just another day in paradise.”
