Not sure what to say?

I've know Dr Wolk since the late sixties. I watched Armstrong's televised moon walk in his living room and was friend of his son Brian. He was a wonderful neighbor and, with Pat, raised a beautiful family. God bless him always.

My memories of Dr. Wolk date back to 1979 and to our wonderful 2West Oncology family at St. Agnes. He was a pleasure to work with and cared very deeply for all his patients. He was quiet and methodical, with underlying strength, wisdom and humor. I am so grateful to have worked with him and I am hoping that the hearts of his family will be filled with joyous memories.

My sincerest condolences to Pat, Abby, Amy and their families. I have the best memories of hanging out at the Wolk's beautiful home, listening to music, being a kid and climbing trees. Our families did much together while I was growing up and I admired Dick and Pat and the girls greatly. I'm so sorry to hear this news. I'm sending you some love and thinking of you.

Below is a message I am sending on behalf of my mother, Mary Ann Johnson. But first, on behalf of our whole family, we thank Dr. Work for giving us 30 years and counting of time with our mom, diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer in 1987. He saved her! We are forever grateful for his dedication to his profession and are very sorry for your loss.

Dear Dr. Wolk Family,
We are so sorry for your loss.

Hardly a day goes by that I do not think of Dr. Wolk. We met him in...

It was good to hear music coming from the wolk garden last night. We will always remember Dick and Toby roaming the neighborhood. Our thoughts are with you Pat, Toby and family.

Our condolences to Pat and the girls and we have very fond memories of our times at your home. Love to all Aldo & Marilyn
