Fred J. Rolf

Dear Deb and Aunt Janet, It was very hard not being physically there with you in Fla. to help support you when Uncle Fred was so ill and then his ultimate passing. There are so many fun and happy memories. He and Aunt Janet were more than just my aunt and uncle, they were my Godparents as well, and that always meant so much to me. He was always so fun and he loved to come to our house. Mom's pies were his favorite. We always had fun teasing him about the Ohio State/Michigan rivalry. He...

So sorry for your loss. May the God of all comfort be with your family. Isaiah 61:2

Uncle Fred was full of life and laughter. He and Aunt Janet were a noticeably loving and happy couple and were fun to be around. My two fond memories include the Rolf Open; a family golf tournament that involved lots of creative score keeping, bantering and jokes. It was so much fun. The other was as story Uncle Fred liked to tell about when I was probably about 5 years old I was to stay at their house overnight but I got scared and they had to drive me home in the middle of the night...

Dear Debbie,
I have such fond memories of playing at your home and treasure my days at Union School and our time at the middle and high schools. I send love to you and your family.

It was because of Dr. Rolf that I had a long teaching career in Maumee. As Superintendent he hired me as a young college graduate and always treated me fairly. I remember his kindness and flexibility with my maternity leave. It seems that he might have served with my father at Erie Proving Grounds; they would have been the same age. My thoughts are with your family.

Dear Rolf Family.
Dr Rolf was my principal at UNION school in 1955. HE was such an inspiration and a fine person. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

To Janet and Family,my deepest condolences in Fred's Homegoing.We were very good friends at GHS he excelled in sports and as a student.

My best memories of Uncle Fred was his great sense of humor and laughter. As a kid, I always looked forward to his visits knowing the day would be fun. Even in later years, we enjoyed poking fun depending on who won the OSU / Michigan game. He was the perfect uncle. I will miss him and his laughter.

Eternal rest, thanks for being a great leader and my education at MHS.
