Karen, Julia, Jonathan, and Hunter - I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. Having cancer too, we had a lot to share with each other and spoke to each other often. Dave was so proud of his family and there was no doubt in his mind that his family will continue to grow to be people he will be proud of and love.
-Much love,

In keeping with the memory of such a great guy who has shown such great strength and courage not only to his family but to us all I would like to extend our sincere gratitude for the time he spent coaching our son Brandon during his very first year at little league. Seeing him at the ballfield this past season was the highlight of the year for me because he was missed so much and most knew somewhat of what he and his family were going through. You could tell others felt the same way by how many people surrounded him while he was there. The Community stands behind you Wolff family with love and support, I hope that brings you some kind of comfort at this time and beyond.
