Charles John “Charlie” Wolf, age 82, passed away early Wednesday morning, the 5th of May, after a 5 year battle with Alzheimer’s.
He was born May 15th, 1938 in Milwaukee, WI, to Charles L. Wolf and Agnes Randa, and he was named after his grandfather Charles John Wolf. His mother passed away when Charlie was only 11 years old. He was raised by his father and in large part, by his Grandmother, Laura Wolf.
He worked as a door to door insurance salesman in Milwaukee before meeting his loving wife of 57 years Nina. They were married on Oct 19th, 1963 in North Lake, WI and have been living at their current home for more than 40 years. Nina took care of Charlie every single day for the past 4 years as his memory and heath declined from Alzheimer’s disease.
Charlie worked for W.A. Krueger, later known as World Color, in the printing industry for more than 20 years, and when he retired in 2000 he took a part time job delivering parts for Parts Hut in Hartland. He loved to play golf, and he loved wood working. He made so many things, including furniture, bird houses, picture frames, and flower stands. He could fix almost anything, and if he couldn’t fix it he knew someone that could.
Charlie was preceded in death by his father Charles L. Wolf (1970), his mother Agnes Randa (1949), his sister Carol Zapf (2002), and his granddaughter, Ashlee Lynn Wolf (1994).
He is survived by his wife Nina (Fausch), his children Douglas John (Keri) Wolf of Virginia Beach, VA, and Gloria Luedtke of Hartland, WI. His grandchildren, Amanda Ashlee Blasi, of New London, WI, Ryan Douglas Wolf of Richmond, VA, Derek John Wolf of Newport News, VA, and twins Rylee Ann Luedtke of Hartland, WI and Rachel Jean Luedtke of Hartland, WI.
Family and friends will gather on Thursday, May 13th at Evert-Luko Funeral Home, 170 Warren Ave. Hartland, for a remembrance of Charlie’s life from 3:00 to 4:00pm and a short service at 4pm.
