Thomas Maynard Rolfe was born November 20, 1940 to Maynard and Alice Rolfe in Ann Arbor, MI. After complications following cancer surgery, Tom went to be in peace with our Lord on December 7, 2014.
Following his schooling, Tom joined the army and was stationed in Germany.After the service, he started his career in the automotive business with Volkswagen in Ann Arbor, continuing with them after he moved to Orange County, CA in 1970.In 1980, he married Ginny Pinelli and together they raised Ginny's daughter, Susan. Tom was an exceptional stepdad. As members of the Long Beach Ski Club, they commuted to vacation at Branson's in Parker, then moved to Lake Havasu City.They owned Lake Havasu Auto Sales from 1986 to1995.
He was active in the Relics and Rods Club, Eagles and Elks. He then started with Bradley Chevrolet. The next chapter started when he met Candy Adragna. Their love of water and camping was the catalyst to move to Parker.They made a 5th wheel trip for 90 days covering 26 states. They married in 2007 at Fox's Resort. Most Sundays were spent boating. Tom loved sports, especially, NASCAR. Dale Jr. was his pick, followed by anyone driving a Chevy.
He was a customer- oriented salesman, becoming friends with everyone he contacted. The most quoted adjective for Tom was "kind" and he will be sorely missed by all.
