Wayne James "Wolfman" "Wolfie" Ginn, age 73, of Newark, DE, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving family on Sunday, September 24, 2023.
Born in Wilmington, DE on April 28, 1950, he was a son of the late James C. and Joan (Wilhelm) Ginn. Wolfie was a graduate of Christiana High School. Following graduation, he made a lifelong career with Verizon, retiring after 30 years of dedicated service. Wolfie then spent 6 years working for Martin Honda.
A true outdoorsman, Wolfie was an avid bass fisherman. He was a life member of the Delaware City Recreation Club, where he loved playing horseshoes. He also bowled for the telephone company at Bowlerama and on another league at Pleasant Hills.
Wolfie is survived by his fiancé and caretaker, Jane Nickle; son, Steven Ginn (Wendy) of Loganville, GA; brother, David Ginn (Karen) of Wilmington; grandchildren, Tiffany, Steven II, Stephanie, Emma, and Hunter; and great-grandchildren, Kendall, Addison, and Kara.
