Richard Arlen Wolfe

Born on January 4, 1932 in Dunkirk, Indiana to Garland and Mabel (Burroughs) Wolfe, his early years were divided between Dunkirk and Lake George, where his parents owned a grocery store. Dick loved lake life and boating and met nearly everyone while delivering morning papers.

Dick graduated from Dunkirk High School in 1950, then entered the United States Marine Corps right after graduating, and served our Country from 1951 until 1953. He was always proud of being a Marine. Following his discharge Dick joined General Motors in Pontiac, Michigan, where he spent his entire working career.

Dick married Priscilla "Pat" Racz in 1954 and they raised two adventurous children, David and Deanna. That marriage ended in divorce, and in 1989 Dick married Joan Phelps. Dick and Joan welcomed twins Kenneth and Kevin in 1990, and in 2000 Dick and Joan moved to Lake George full time to raise the boys and enjoy his retirement. Throughout his life Dick was active in sports, coaching baseball and long-distance bicycling, and Dick and Joan were active in the Peace Lutheran Church and various local organizations.

Dick was predeceased by his parents, his sister Sara Frances (Wolfe) Miller and her husband Reeder, his former wife Pat, and his wife Joan. Dick is survived by his children David (Kristin) Wolfe of Woking, England, Deanna Wolfe of Ft. Wayne, Indiana, Kenneth (Alyssa) Wolfe of Hudson, Indiana, Kevin (Calista) Wolfe of Fremont, Indiana, step-daughter Laura Yoder of Rockford, Michigan, and numerous cousins, nephews and grandchildren.
