Not sure what to say?

So appreciative of this man. One of the most vibrant, inspiring, funny and humble guys I have ever met. Dr Wolf helped me finish off my Bachelor´s degree in Portland, helped me take that next step in my career. I have gotten some pretty cool jobs over the years and I think of Dr Wolf when I get those jobs and know he helped me get there, helped me support my family while also appreciating the value of learning throughout your life. Miss you Dr Wolf

As mentioned here at the time of his passing, Larry who is an Alumnus of St. Mary's High School, Class of 1956, that although he is gone from this life, his spirit will forever remain here on the Campus of St. Mary´s; and just as it was in life since the day he enrolled, daily prayers will continue to be said and daily masses will continue to be offered for him by the Brother´s of Mary. And just so Larry's family and friends know, the Brothers of Mary and the Sons of Mary have not forgotten...

Dr Wolf, as I knew him, was a very enthusiastic, witty and engaging person. He was wise, and his counseling helped shape my career path to pursue in Mechanical Engineering Technology, which is my occupation today.

Each time I see his Statics & Strengths text, I recall taking his class and his true care for his students, at the University of Houston.

My best regards go to his family.

God bless you!

Barb and kids, so sorry to learn of Larry's passing. You and Larry were some of mom and dad's favorite people. God bless you.

Larry is a St. Mary´s High School Alumnus, Class of 1956. On behalf of the faculty, the staff, and the students at St. Mary´s, both past and present, we extend our most heartfelt sympathy to Larry´s family and friends. Also know that we share in your sorrow and grieve for your loss. Special mention of condolences to Larry´s classmates and to those students, who at one time or another, were either upper classmates or under classmates of his and who may have known Larry and/or as someone...

We were colleagues at ABET, Brookhaven Lab and OIT. I had great admiration for him.

Just heard of Larry's passing April 20th. Our love to all of you. Lots of good memories.

So very sorry for your loss, Barbara. My condolences to you and your family.

Barbara, Walter and I were sadden to hear of Larry's death. He was the one who gave Walt his "big break" to become Dean of Engineering at OIT. Walter has never forgotten that and was always giving Larry credit.
