CHESTER - Thomas Gene Wolford, 82, went to be with his Lord on May 17, 2018. He was born in Bowden, West Virginia, on July 19, 1935, son of the late Thomas and Ina (Wyatt) Wolford.
Tom served four years, four months, and 25 days in the U.S. Army, serving two years in the Korean War in Fort Richardson, Alaska. He retired after 22 years at Great Northern Paper Company, Millinocket. He enjoyed whittling, fishing, farming, and raising a large vegetable garden and gladiolas, which he sold and shared with friends and the local hospital and nursing home. He also served as a Sunday School teacher and deacon at the Bible Baptist Church, Lincoln. Besides his Lord, his greatest love was his family, whom he moved from their big city life in the Akron, Ohio, area to countryside life in Chester, Maine, in the early '70s.

He was predeceased by his daughter, Deborah Troxell, his sons, Thomas and Daniel, and his siblings, Ileta Winchester, Delores Wolford, and Stanley Wolford.
