Ralph Wolf Obituary
Ralph E. Wolf, age 70, died August 13, 2013, surrounded by his loving family and friends. Ralph was born on December 29, 1942, in Marshfield, WI, the son of Mathias and Josephine (Weidman) Wolf.
Ralph will be deeply missed by his wife Mary, his daughters; Pamela (John) Davis, Jody (Brian) Bancroft, and Amy Pickett, his sisters; Lois Bednarek, and Alice Winkel, his brothers; Richard Wolf, and Stephen (Anita) Wolf. Ralph was a grandfather to: Mindy (Mike) Aryes, Travis Davis, Garth (Tasha) Davis, Zachery Bancroft, Elijah Bancroft, and great grandfather to: Annabelle Aryes. Ralph is further survived by numerous nieces, nephews, and brothers in law and sisters in law. Ralph was preceded in death by his parents Mathias and Josephine, brother Mathias Wolf Jr., sister Teresa Solow, and grandchild Ashley Pickett.
Ralph lived life to its fullest and cherished the times he spent with his loved ones especially the times he had with Zach and Eli who loved their Grandpa more than life itself. One of his favorite hobbies was fishing on Lake Michigan for salmon and lake trout, and going on his annual fishing charter with his buddies. He also enjoyed playing bingo with his friends. Ralph will always be remembered for his fun-spirited personality and warm heart.
Mary would like to extend a special thanks to close family friends Kay, Alan, Booby, and Dick for all the wonderful times they spent together. A memorial service celebrating Ralph's life will be held at a later date.

Mary, I am so sorry for your loss. It was a great honor being able to live next to you for as many years as I did and Ralph had a lot to do with that. His stories and presence will always be remembered. He was a truly great friend to me and I admired him a lot. I am so happy that I was able to take him to see his favorite football team play at Lambeau even if it wasn't the Packers! ;-) I know he is at peace now and I just wanted to offer my condolences to you and the family. He will always be with us and our memories...God Bless him and you in your time of grief.

So sorry for your loss. When we were children living in the rural area we used to get together and play tag, hide and seek, kick the can, and many other cousin games. Ralph always watched out for me and even let me win from time to time. He will always have a special place in my heart. Love to all.
