We were saddened to hear of your loss. It must be hard to say good-bye to someone so special. We are grateful for the commitment he made to Quigley Catholic school and to the Youth of the Diocese and community.

George Fabricius
Mr. Wolf leaves a marvelous monument to our precious Lord, for in his lifetime, he had a great many number of achievements.
I just remember meeting him at Quigley and him telling me it is all for Jesus. I will never forget it.

I would like to share my condolences with the family of Mr. Wolf. As a sales rep. for Nicklas Supply I never had the opportunity to meet him but heard so much about him that I felt I knew him. He was a very good customer and his business was appreciated. I also thank him for all he has done for our Catholic Church.
May God give him the place he earned! Rest In Peace!

In Loving Memory of William J. Wolf
God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be,
so He put His arms around
you and whispered
"come with Me"
With tearful eyes we watched you,
and saw you pass away,
although we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands at rest,
God broke our hearts
to prove to us,
He only take the best.
God Bless

We had many interesting talks, & the one thing that stands out to me was how passionate he remained after all the years in the business. My sincere deepest sympathy goes out to the entire family. May God Bless You
