Victor T. Wolf, age 94, passed away peacefully in the morning hours of Thursday December 1, 2022 at Cedar Hill Assisted Living and Senior Housing.  Born in Ensign, Michigan, he was the son of the late Joseph and Pauline (Stemac) Wolf.

 

Victor graduated as the Valedictorian, Class of 1945 of the Rapid River High School and attended Michigan State University and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Agriculture.  In 1951, he enlisted in the U.S Army and served in the Korean conflict as a Field Artillery Observer and was honorably discharged in 1953.  He was employed with Swift and Company, Mead Corporation for 20 years and the Island Resort and Casino until his retirement at age 87.

    Was saddened by the news of Uncle Vick’s passing. Such a nice guy! Glad I was able to see him occasionally over the last few years. Catching up on “family matters!” was fun and informative. Sharp wit and humor were his trademark. When Dora and I would run into him at the casino it was a night of fun. We’re going to really miss him.
    (was great to see some of the cousins, and can’t wait to see all you guys again.
    maybe you can bring Jamie too!!!)

    Ted and Paul, I am so sorry to hear of your fathers passing! I know it has been a while since we have seen each other but I think of you and your family often! Prayers are being sent your way and I will look for your fathers visitation soon!

    Met Vic working at the Mill for many years. He was a great guy and we always had a few laughs when we’d see each other! Rest in Peace Vic!

    Growing up next to Victor was a memory that stayed in my heart to adulthood. He was one of my favorite people, and a good man! Watching you beat me in cribbage and out drink me with Brandy at 94 will stick me with a smile for the rest Of time. I hope you are polka dancing with Joyce once again. Love always!!

    Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. Uncle Victor was a Good Man; kind, positive, smart, witty and loving. We will forever remember the greatest days of our lives, being on the farm with Uncle Victor and the rest of the family. He was a man who had a beautiful wife and wonderful kids, who are all such great people. I always remember Uncle Victor when he was going to go out into the fields to do work, he would always bring a few extra beers with him. 🙂 I never heard a harsh word come out of his mouth, he was kind and gentle just like the whole family. There is no doubt he is in a better place and we will all see him again. We will miss you and we LOVE YOU UNCLE VIC!

    Victor today we honor your life and service to our country. You were such a great guy with the best laugh and sense of humor. I enjoyed our little impromptu chats when I’d pop in for a visit. You were always welcoming and entertaining. You will be missed.
