Thomas Rolston Obituary

Rolston, Thomas CLIFTON PARK Thomas C. Rolston, 42, of Marcel Road, died on Saturday, December 21, 2013 at his residence surrounded by his family. He was born on September 17, 1971 in Manhattan, and was the son of William H. Rolston of Clifton Park and the late Elaine Gay (Thomas) Rolston. He received his associate's degree from Wyoming Tech, and lived in Clifton Park since 1986. Tom had worked for NYS OGS in Albany for many years. Earlier, he worked as a skilled auto body painter at Foggs and Noppers. He was a car and motorcycle enthusiast, and he loved to travel to the shows with his Firebird. He was the brother of Kenneth W. Rolston of Clifton Park; uncle of Kenna Marie Rolston of Clifton Park; and long-time friend of Mary Beth Truman. A memorial service will be announced at a later date. There will be no public calling hours. In the Christmas spirit and for love of Tom, or any deceased friend or relative for that matter, the family requests that you "Pay It Forward" in any way big or small. With confidence, the family has placed their trust in the loving care of the Townley & Wheeler Funeral Home, 21 Midline Road, Ballston Lake, and they encourage you to view and leave messages on Tom's Book of Memories at TownleyWheelerFH.com
