Still missing you Dad. Things are good here. But there will always be a dad shaped hole in my heart for you. Remember at my Gymnastics meets before I would go I would always hear " Go Lizardo". I would think yep dads here:)
What I would give to sing to you one more time dad. I love you

Dear John,
Here we are February 28,2022.
I am reminded today of our times here at my house in Plano when you visited and we would reminisce
on our childhood. Tonight I feel your presence in a special way. This Memorial reminder came in a email & surprised me once again! It’s like a Happy Birthday message/ visit with you. Yesterday was my actual birthday but the BD feeling is lingering. Thanks for this bonus BD gift !
Things are crazy down here now. Pandemic for almost 2 yrs. & now Russian has invaded Ukraine 4 days ago. Pray for peace with me. Amen
I love you brother John,
Janie

This reminder email arrived today day after my birthday 2/27/21. In my heart it felt like a hello from you from above. I love you dear brother John. Your sister Jane

Dear John,
You remain in my heart ~ love never ends. Keep watching over us here. I miss you, Daddy,Mama, and Annie. Glad you are my brother.
Love you,
Janie

We first met John at Myssy & Chip's old house just before Travis & Amanda were engaged. Travis had brought Amanda home to meet the Dennetts and then he said we had to meet the Wolf Family. John and Clo were in the kitchen laughing and joking, reminiscing about singing in a band and when the kids were little. The next time we saw him was when we all got together for Travis' baptism, communion and confirmation. At their wedding in Hot Springs, John, Larry & Clo and all the family gave their speeches, and we laughed and joked and enjoyed being together. When he visited Amanda for spaghetti dinner, we were there enjoying his presence and sense of humor, as he complimented her on her cooking. This is how we remember John --he was a man who enjoyed life and absolutely loved being with his family. When I was told John was diagnosed with a terible cancer I thought to myself, "what a strong man of such small stature". He never changed, knowing that this was maybe a fight he would lose. He maintained his light humor and did not utter a bitter comment. I quietly nicknamed him "Big John" just my own reference of respect to him when I would talk to Ulli about him. John was a giant, a man knowing that time was not a matter of how long he might be around but he knew every minute was his quality time with the people he loved and I saw a man use that time in a joyous loving way to the very end. It is said that God always takes
the best first, but I wish he would have made an exception in this case, because there are very few men like John. We will miss him.

Sunday March 29,2009,
You are on my mind,John,
Soon this registry will close. I am prompted to share one more time.
I have converted the ashtray you used here at my house to a really beautiful candle holder. It is one I gave Mama in 1990 that I brought home from Medjugorje,Bosnia. I later took it when she moved. Whenever you came to visit me at my home on Belgrade Dr. you enjoyed sitting on my patio so much. You always used this ashtray. It is woodcarved with glass center. We had lots of conversations at those times. Like I said we had much more shared adult time than either of us had with Anne. Last Sunday 3-15-09 I cleaned it up and found a great woodlike candle that fit in the glass center perfectly. I light it now and have this tray for ashes transformed into one that bears light. It makes me ponder our times/memories and it spurs me to think how we are all on our journey of transformation from the ashes to eternal light. Lent 2009 is coming to a close soon. Your season to enter paradise and all the time together beforehand is a lenten lesson for me.Thanks for being my big brother and still influencing me and pointing me in the right direction. You have gone ahead to scout out The Kingdom. WE are forever being drawn to the Light of Truth, to Our Lord Jesus and all our loved ones waiting for us. May we never tire of seeking this fullness of truth.
Love,peace and joy and as Dale Evans would say "Happy Trails to you until we meet again."
Your sister, Jane Wolf Robertson

Dad, things seem so different now that you are not here. I will always miss you calling me to see how your little wart is doing. But I know I will be doing alot better cause I have you watching over me!! Oh and yes I will watch and take of mom!!!! Can't wait to see you in heaven love always your little wart!!! Teresa

John, Life seems so empty with you gone. I sure miss you, but I know Heaven is sweeter because you are there. Because of our faith, which you strengthened, we will carry on. Your precious sweet smile given to me at the end will always remain in my heart and memory. You called me your "Soul Mate" which is the greatest of all titles on this planet and heaven. Our fruitful vine (our children and heritage) will live on till we are together at God's throne. I know you will continue to help us meet that goal (our purpose on earth). I can see you at your computer, which you enjoyed so much. Well there are many things people and friends are saying to you. I hope you can read each one as a special gift to you. Oh what I would give to say the things that slipped my mind. Life will never be the same with you not here. With God's grace our strength remains. Till we can view all of heaven's splendor hand in hand: Your "Soul Mate" and Best Friend forever: Clo

John, there's no replacing you but we carry on as best we can with broken hearts and a love that is endless. Our faith tells us of the joys you have and and no more struggles or sickness. Your family is indeed a treasure of love, support, memories, fearless defense, and unity when other families have fallen apart. We look forward to our times together with you as the future promises joyful life together in heaven. Love you, GREG

To John's family, our prayers are with you all.
The first time we (Norm and I) met John was in Texas and the first, Little John was to be born very soon. Had a wonderful visit and spent the night. Have always remembered the vist with very fond memories.
Our Love and Prayers, Norman D. and Velma McElroy

Daddy,
No words can express how much I will miss you. Logging on to my computer will never be the same. I looked forward to your little "hi panda" messages on gtalk. It always put a smile on my face. My world stopped when I was talking to you. It was the highlight of my day. I just wanted to share with everyone reading this that you were the best Dad God could have given us. You were the most non selfish person I knew. My fondest memory of you was whenever you came home from work you would always stop at the bottom of the driveway so we could hop on the back of your truck and ride up the hill. We would take turns carrying in your lunch box because we knew you always left a treat for us in there. :-) That is just who you were. Always thinking of others. Especially your kids. I know we meant everything to you. Your final fight was because of us and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You will always be a hero in my eyes. I love you and will carry you in my heart forever. I can't wait until we meet again in heaven. Tell God all circle saws get into heaven. See you soon.

I will miss our friendship.
Shirley Moyer

John, you were always kind and helpful. I especially loved the serious talks we had about the Bible. Always, I will remember your wonderful sense of humor, your love for your family, and your infectious smile! You taught me much. Thanks for being my friend.
Carole Wolever, HSV (now Indiana)

John Wolf, it has been so many years since I have seen you, but I still picture myself hanging out with you, Janie, and Annie in the house on Central Avenue. Also the visits on "the farm" will always be in my memories - at times just getting there was an adventure - but it was all fun times with great, wonderful people. My life took me away from all that I grew up with in Hot Springs, but I can remember every minute and everyone. I am sorry I am not there to say good-bye to you, but I have said my prayers for you and your family, and I am sure you will be kept very busy watching over all of your loved ones. How lucky they are to have you as their "extra" angel. May you rest in peace, John.

It was an honor and an adventure being John's "boss" for several years at the Nat and DeSoto Pools. He took pride in providing impressive places to have fun and he always figured out how to make things better. I miss his laugh and unique sense of humor. He was a man of honor, loved to talk about all his kids, and definitely made the world around him a better place. To all his children, you were blessed to have him as a father and always remember his laugh!

Dad,
What a wonderful word, and how you are the perfect example. I always remember how hard you would work but still come home and play football with us or just hang out. I also remember how at night after mom had gone to bed I would sneak out of my room and you would always be watching Star Trek and eating popcorn. You would look at me and smile and let me sit on the couch with you. You never told mom! Our memories are countless with family vacations, camping at the lake,Sunday dinners and Christmas (decorating the tree night) I will miss you so much and feel so priveledged to have held you hand when you entered the kingdom, just as you had held mine so many times growing
up. I have always been told that one of our goals in life is to make this world a better place than the way we found it. You have been there and done that. I know your are probably flying with the angels right now and walking in new life. I am so thankful that you were my dad.
Your little Rhino,
Myssy

Mr. Wolf,
Even though I never had the opportunity of meeting you I met the rest of your family and I'm sure you could not have been more proud of them. I'm sure you and your wife had a great hand in that. My cousin Tena is married to your son John who has been so wonderful to my son Daniel and we both are so happy that he made his way into our family. God speed.

To the family you have my deepest sympathy and if I can do anything for you I'll be more than happy to do it.

My family's connection with the Wolfs began when I was about 7 years old when my dad sold "The Farm" to Dan Wolf, I.
I remember birthdays, sleepovers, holidays. Remember singing Christmas carols in the living room of the house on Central. Lyda, very high tech at the time, recorded the singing on "records".
We kids would play upstairs while Dan, Lyda, Frank and Margie played "pitch" downstairs.
John would deign to play with his younger siblings, along with Brenda and me. We played "Cootie" and other games.
In the summers we'd have picnics and swimming at Glazyepeau, ride horses at "The Farm" and play in the barn loft.
After I left Hot Springs to go to school, we always stayed aware of each other's lives even though our paths had diverged.
Now Dan, Lyda, John and Annie, Frank and Margie are together in paradise and we will see them again when we get there. If they are playing pitch, Dan and Frank are still losing even though they are cheating. Margie and Lyda can always intuit their signals. John and Annie are laughing uproariously while playing Cootie.
You are all a part of me just as you have enriched my whole life.
May God comfort each of those who so miss His servant, John.

Sallye Lowrey Wardlaw

John, Missy, Theresa, Amanda, and all of the younger siblings,

All the memories I have of your dad are at church or on youth outings. As I remember your Dad, he was always smiling. To be so busy taking care of a big family, he always seemed so patient with all of you. My deepest sympathies to each of you. I pray that God will help you through this difficult time.

Love and Peace,
Carole Sparks

Please accept my deepest sympathies. My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this time of grief and sorrow.

I praise God for giving me my brother John. I am grateful for the times we shared. The name John means "GOD"S GIFT" and that is what he was ....and remains forever as he is now enjoying everlasting life.
Love,
Jane Wolf Robertson (Janie)

I first met John when I moved here and started going to the Coronado Fitness Center. Then about 4 1/2 years ago I started working at the fitness center and John and I became friends. He was a wonderful person with a great sense of humor and I will miss him so much. He loved his family and talked about them and his grandkids a lot.
