Robert T. Wollaston

Robert T. Wollaston, age 67, of Toughkenamon, Pennsylvania, passed away unexpectedly on January 6, 2026, at his home in Toughkenamon, PA. Born in Wilmington, DE he was the son of the late J. Paul Wollaston and the late Grace (Creasy) Wollaston. 

Bob graduated from Kennett High School. He was a talented carpenter throughout his life and had great pride in all his accomplishments. He worked with his father for many years at J. Paul Wollaston General Contractor. After the death of his father he continued on his own as a handyman for many local people including his family and friends. Bob most recently worked for The Fireplace Store in Glen Mills, PA. 

In his spare time, he enjoyed participating in garden tractor pulls and over the years, won a number of trophies in those competitions. He was a long time member of Rough and Tumble, IH Club of South East Pennsylvania Chapter 8, and the Early American Steam Engine & Old Equipment Society, Inc., where he enjoyed attending and participating in many "old gas engine shows" and garden tractor pulls. Bob was a member of New Garden Friends Meeting and served as a Trustee.

He will be remembered for his generosity and quiet nature; speaking little but observing more. Bob will also be remembered for his outstanding carpentry skills, always measuring twice and cutting once.
