JOHN D. WOLF

Hardly a day goes by that I don´t think of John and thank the Lord for the experience of being in ministry with him and growing from his wisdom and passion for truth and justice.

John was a wonderful ministry mentor as I served in Valparaiso with him when I was just out of seminary. He was challenging, encouraging and always kind. I´ve always admired him. I think of John often and still have a copy of his book on his naval chaplain experiences.

When I was a young associate pastor with John I fondly remember going to Valparaiso High School football games with him and then stopping at Browns for popcorn ice cream after the game. I learned a lot from John and it was a pleasure to be in ministry with him.

What a great life...one to be emulated...very hard to copy. I wish I would have known you many years ago. See you "There."

"Well done, good and faithful servant" Matthew 25:21

John was always very kind to us. His witness was a powerful one and his exemplary life was truly an inspiration. Our lives have been blessed just knowing him. -Carole and Frank Lyman

I don't remember when I first met John but it was early in my time in the conference. His passion for justice and his courage in speaking out taught me much about the prophetic nature of ministry. I am so thankful he has been part of my journey. Rev. Nancy Nichols
