It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Dean R. Lofstrom on Tuesday, August 4, 2026. Dean was born in Fort Plain, NY on November 30th, 1950 to Oscar and Shirley Lofstrom, as well as his siblings; Sue Perillo (Joe) (NY) and Mark (Sue) (PA).

One thing that always remained constant in Dean's life was his passion for sports. Growing up as a kid, he loved playing baseball, which he would continue to enjoy all the way through his High School years. While living in Bedford, he would continue to share his love of sports by dedicating many years to assisting youth sports programs. He was a member of St. Elizabeth Catholic Church. Dean was also a member of the Canadian Club in Manchester, where he enjoyed spending time with his wife, Deb and his friends. Dean had a long and fulfilled career at Bronze Craft Corp, spanning a remarkable 44 years of dedicated service.

He also loved playing pool, cooking for his family and friends, and a good cigar. Dean was caring and devoted to his loved ones. He admired how clear his swimming pool was almost as much as the New England Patriots. He always enjoyed having summer cook outs and people over the house to eat, drink and enjoy good company.

Dean leaves behind his loving wife; Debra (Lemay), his sons; Derek (Winchester MA), Garrett (Katie) (Plaistow NH), his stepdaughter; Alyson Segedy (Jason) (Bow NH), and his 8 grandchildren, nieces, nephews and cousins.

Dean was predeceased by his brother; Roger and his second wife Deborah.

A memorial gathering will be held from 2:00pm to 4:00pm on August 11 at Phaneuf Funeral Homes & Crematorium, 243 Hanover Street, Manchester NH.
