Dear Rick and Family,
Jessica and I just wanted to express how sorry we are that your dad/grandfather has passed away. I did not not know him well but he always met me with a smile whenever I came by the plant and I know Rick that you were very proud of him and I am sure you have many fond memories.

Rick and family, I send all my condolences to you and your family in this hard time. I remember Mr. Wolk very well. I have a very fond memory of a bet that he made with me when I was in 7th grade. It was the world series baseball game. I bet that the Braves would win. If I won he would give me $5 dollar gift certificates to McDonalds for all my classmates and if he won I had to make my moms oatmeal raisen cookies. I won and he kept his end of the deal!! I will always remember him as a good, kind and caring man. He will forever hold a special place in my heart. My deepest sympathy.

I would like to send our deepest sympathy in the lost of your Husband, Father, & Grandfather. I worked with Mr Wolk for 5 yrs at Rochester Insulated Glass, and you couldn't ask for a more wonderful, compassionate, intelligent and very respected man. Mr Wolk was always there to support you and answer any questions you might have about anything, especially glass. He would always give you support in what you wanted to do, and put you in the right direction on how to do it. He would always give you a lending hand, no matter what the situation was. I could always depend on him. I remember after we moved away to VA, and visited NY, we would go by the shop and when he was there, he always had a smile and open arms, he would show us around the shop when the additions were being built, and explain how the new equipment worked and how it would help the company in the future to have it. Mr. Wolk would also tell us all the accomplishments the company was making. I really can't express enough on how much we will miss him, there just aren't enough words. Our Hearts and Prayers are with you at this very difficult time.
