JOE WOLK Obituary
JOE WOLK
On Sunday, November 1, 2015, of Silver Spring, MD. Beloved husband of over 65 years to Marion S. Wolk; devoted and loving father of Stuart (Judy) Wolk, Ellen (Bill) Rader and the late Mitch Wolk; dear brother of Harold (Shirley) and the late Sam (Reva) and Louis (Emma) Wolk; adored Grandpa of Callie (Matt) Dosberg, Megan (Josh) Jacobs, Justin, Austin, Christian Rader, Tina (Tom) Stine, Kris (Gina) Carty and the late Ron Rader; dear great-grandfather of Jordan, Ethan, Caylin and Paycen. During his six year World War II Military Service, he was stationed in various places in South America and the South Pacific.

Graveside services will be held on Friday, November 6, 2015 at 11 A.M. at Judean Memorial Gardens, 16225 Batchellors Forest Road, Olney, MD.

So sad to hear about Cousin Joe. 47+ years later I'm not even sure how the "cousin" connection came to be but he has so touched my life and the lives of so many of my family members.
I will forever remember Cousin Joe at Rosh Hashanah dinners, Passover Seders, my Bat Mitzvah and wedding and so recently my parents' funerals.
There is no other like him....

We barely got to know Joe but we could tell by the twinkle in his eye that Joe was a sweet, sweet man and we know that Josh adored his grandpa-in-law!

This man touched the lives of three generations of my family. My parents, my siblings, my two daughters and my wife and I. We are all better for knowing his kindness and love. The memories of the pool, Halloween visits, pop-ins after his haircuts and looking at their (Mr. and Mrs. Wolk's) Wedding Album with them will be treasured always. He will be greatly missed.
I know heaven gained a very special angel to watch over us all.
