Thomas Carl Nothdurft of Queensbury, NY went to be with the Lord on April 27, 2025. He was born in Rockville Center, NY on Oct 18, 1953, and lived in NY state his entire life. As a child and teenager he lived in Cobleskill and Ellenburg. After college he moved to Schroon Lake where he raised his family, serving as a BOCES Board member and Little League coach. After being a building contractor for 20 years, Tom was employed in International Paper's I&E Department, which he retired from in 2020.

He was a member of the NRA, Fish and Game Club, and New Hope Community Church, where he formed many close friendships. Fishing and camping with family were favorites. He especially loved hunting Texas, Washburn, and other local mountains with his brother, sons, and grandson.  Listening to his favorite pastors and bible studies were essential to his routine. His passion for gadgets and talent for troubleshooting made him the go-to guy for family and friends. He was always tinkering, exploring, and trying to learn something new. His skill at creating delicious recipes will be missed.

Tom lived his life with unwavering faith in God. He passed away knowing he was headed for heaven and comforted by his belief In Jesus as his Lord and Savior. His family takes solace in knowing he is at peace with the Lord and trust in their reunion with him one day.

Tom is survived by his wife, Pat; brother, Fred (Sue); sons, Matt (Wayne) and Jason (Amber); and daughter, Jessica (Lamar). He also leaves behind his cherished grandchildren, Christopher  (Amya), Raeonna, Nakayla, Jaydin, Evelyn, Elizabeth, and Ethan.

Tom's legacy is one of love, strength, and faith. He leaves behind memories that will be treasured and a spirit that will live on in those who knew and loved him.

A celebration of life will be held later in the spring.
