Betty Waite introduced us to Art many years ago and we so enjoyed his
company at family birthday and holiday gatherings hosted by Betty.
We will miss his humor, his kindness and friendship---a true gentleman.
Our deepest sympathy to his family.

To the Wolfe Family,
Although I haven't been in touch with Uncle Art for several years, I do have happy memories of the fun-loving man Art was. Whenever I think of him, a fun picture pops into my head of Art's hi-jinks around the pool at one of the family parties we had with my mom and dad. That admittedly goes way back, but it always makes me smile.
My sincere condolences go out to the whole Wolfe family, and though I will not be able to attend the visitation hours, please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers.

To the Wolfe Family..
Only living next door to Mr. Wolfe for not quite 3 years we did not know him well. But he seemed to be such a wonderful man, you do not see that type of gentleman very often anymore. We went over during the beginning of covid to give him our phone numbers in case he needed anything. Everything about him showed what a kind, sweet man he was. Thinking of you all and it was a privledge to be his neighbors... Joe and Lori Peters
