Alan "Butch" Rathsack, 78, of Glen Flora, passed away on Thursday, Dec. 14, 2023, at Marshfield Medical Center in Marshfield after a hard-fought battle of cancer.
Alan was born on Feb. 3, 1945, to Tisla and Archie Rathsack. After his father's passing, Alan took over the family farm and lived there ever since.

Alan had a great love of working with wood. He had a sawmill for a few years and enjoyed making furniture out of wood and cutting firewood.
Alan enjoyed serving his community in many ways, from serving on the town board for years and also on the county board in which he became chairman.
He is survived by his wife, Sandy; son, Randy (Barb) Flint of Glen Flora; grandchildren, Kelsey Flint (Brent Olsen), Kyle Flint (Gabby Lazar) and Koryanne Flint (Kyle Streff); great-grandchildren, Elizabeth, Addison, Hunter, Emersyn, Harper, Lucas, Zakary and Aspen; great-great-grandson, Greyson; sister, Donna (Dennis) Carr of Polaski and brother-in-law, John Siehr of Two Rivers.
