Dear Marilyn, We just wanted to tell you how sorry and shocked we were to hear about Ken's heart attack. I have known Virginia just a few years but, she is like the sister I lost and I like the sister she didn't have. We knew Charlie Wolf's Band from the Moose Lodge but, had never met Virginia then. Since we have become friends we now belong to four organizations together and attend Mass together every Sunday. Al is like a brother to her and he helps her through little problems. We take her to some dinners and I supply her with computer jokes. We were at her 80th birthday party at Steve's house and we will be at the funeral on Tuesday. With prayers & God Bless, Al & Bev Nathe

With great sadness, we read Dr. Wolf's obituary. When I met Glenn in 1987, he shared Dr. Wolf's care with me. Since that time, Dr. Wolf was a safe spot to go not only to have pain eased but to laugh and share experiences, family and good things with him. His care was like the lotion that he would use to ease our pains. Like Dr. Wolf it was easy to put on and then like him it would warm up. Never did we leave without wanting to come back and just sit and talk. He never made me feel bad for just talking. I sent my mom in to see him and even this staid German woman felt well cared for. Dr. Wolf was always interested in the person beyond the physical body. My children were promised Hershey bars at Halloween and they got them as they Trick or Treated. He told me that he got them as a child and wanted to share them with other children. What a treasure. Thank you for sharing him with us. His ability to make us feel physically and mentally better will be missed forever.

Dr. Wolf has taken care of several family members for many years & we have all benefited greatly by his healing hands and most of all his love of life & people. He always made us feel special & had time to ask about how we were doing. He kept track of Glenda during her illness and was very supportive. Virginia & Kerrie have similar traits of human kindness and always have something very positive to say and a smile on their faces. Ken's generosity extended also to us on several occasions. We would come out of his office & he would tell Kerrie "their visit is on me". No special reason, just kindness. We'll never forget Dr. Wolf. & family: You are all very special in the hearts of 'who know how many' people & have made a significant impact on our lives. Thank you & GOD bless you all.

In 1967 I met Kenny while working at Tokay Bowl. I was a lane boy cleaning, stocking the bar and picking up spilled drinks. I was to give the night mechanic a dinner break and later a smoke break. One evening he came back and found me sitting in a chair sleeping against the back wall. When I jumped up I twisted my neck. He said I can fix that. He had just finished school in Iowa and gave me an adjustment. I didn't know what to expect but it did feel better after a short while. I kept in touch with Kenny over the years with him visiting me when I lived in Lake Tahoe during the 70's and my returning back to the valley in the 90's. Some of my earliest memories are of knowing Kenny. I occasionally drove by his work place spotting the Corvette thinking I should stop by to say hello. Now I wish I had! Rick Tutt Stockton, CA

The dark Cadillac Fleetwood looked ominous in the driveway of my smallish California bungalow. Inside, the driver with the boyish face and the ever present cigarette waited for me. It was like a scene from a bad mob movie?Midwestern kid moves to the coast, gets in with the wrong crowd, becomes corrupted, and ultimately gets into trouble. An hour earlier, he had called, awakened me and said ?Be in your driveway in 30 minutes. You?ll be home by Midnight.? This might seem eerily threatening to a casual observer. But when Kenny Wolf called and said to be ready in 30, you knew that you?d have the time of your life whether he was taking you along to Lake Tahoe, or just to the corner restaurant for a late meal. It all started with coaching the Lodi, CA American Legion baseball team. I managed to disappoint the whole town by merging two good high school teams, and creating a less than championship Legion squad in the summer of 1987. The head coach and I were outsiders, or as Lodians said, from ?back east?. We had some great players, some memorable games, but failed to win the league or live up to expectations. Throughout the season, two parents remained endlessly supportive and constantly helpful. Kenny and Marilyn Wolf were always there with a word of encouragement or to ridicule my overly large uniform pants (past coaches must have been a bit puffy). Kenny and Marilyn kept me out of ?beleaguered status? that season. They made me feel appreciated and welcomed in that little (and closed) community, where baseball was very important. We played in a venerable former minor league stadium with decent crowds each night. But for me, Kenny and Marilyn were the only fans that mattered. After the season, they began inviting me over to their house for dinner, cribbage, or just idly watching Kenny watch TV. With Kenny in the room, the broadcast entertainment was secondary. Kenny?s views on any show/game/movie could be outlandish and laughable, but he had a wonderful way of including everyone in the discussion. Kenny?s son Steve, by this time fully evolved from ?pitcher I coached? to ?best friend in the time zone?, understood his father?s charm. There were multiple trips to Tahoe wherein we just sat in the back seat and laughed the whole way. I can?t think of a better time in my entire life than those 90 MPH back roads jaunts to the casino. On the voyage of acceptable irresponsibility, Kenny was our captain and we were his loyal crew. He?d sign big markers, play $500 a hand blackjack and baccarat, and regale us with his stories. The same approach carried to Steve?s days pitching for Fresno State. I can?t count the number of wonderful weekends spent with the man and Marilyn watching baseball, going out for great meals, and just having the world by the tail. He never said it, but ?enjoy your life? was the daily lesson from the captain. Kenny absorbed life like a sponge, and never missed a chance to wring out what he knew to those of us within his gravitational pull. Now, he?s gone, I won?t ever feel his arm on my neck pulling me in for a bear hug. But, in my memory and in my heart, that dark Cadillac Fleetwood is still out there, and has just rolled over the horizon.

What a shock when I heard about Kenny. I was on vacation so I just found out today. I was deeply saddened. Kenny touched me with his kindness and helpfullness. I fell on a concrete step landing on my back while I was delivering the mail. It just happened to be the house next to Kenny's office. I honestly thought I had paralyzed myself. My first thought was to run into Kenny's office. Karrie took one look at me while I was crying and ran for her dad. He immediately saw the expression on my face, I was in extreme pain, he took be into the back, laid me on the table and began massaging my back, he put some kind of ointment on my back that made it kind of cool. When he was finished he advised me to get an xray, he was so concerned. A few weeks went by, when he saw me the next time he asked me how I was. He told me I was so worried about you. I have never met a man that was so caring and giving. Everytime time he drove by me as I delivered the mail, he always slowed down and waved. About two weeks ago, Kenny pulled up to his office, saw me, grabbed his bottled water and asked if I wanted a drink before he opened it. I will truly miss Kenny, he was one of a kind. My thoughts and prayers are with his entire family. I'm glad I had the opportunity to find out what a great man he was. I am truly saddened, he will be missed, it seemed he touched everyone he came in contact with. Sincerely, Suzi Robinson Your mail carrier

Dr. Kenny Wolf was the most generous man I have ever known. He once told me that that if the time comes that you become wealthy and have means never forget what it was like when you had nothing. You should always give to people less fortunate because you were there once yourself and know what it is like to struggle.He would tell me stories about summers working in the cannery. Kenny was a huge influence in my younger years. Whenever I went to his office for a treatment a counseling session was included. I would go into his little office for 10 minutes sometimes more and it did not matter if other patients were waiting. He would always have time for me. We would talk about all of the things I was struggling with school, work, girls, family. He always listened and then would give me great advice. It was usally involved a personal story of something similar that he had experianced in his own life. One Spring day I told him I was hard up for some money. (You need extra $ in high school) Kenny told me to be at his house the following morning at 7:00AM for yard duty. For the next 3 years I worked with Kenny in his yard during Spring,Summer and Fall. Kenny would be out there sweating right along with me. I would mow a section then he would mow and so it went. He told me yard work would always keep me in shape. He taught me how to use all the yard tools. He always paid me generously and there was breakfast and TV watching when we were done. I looked forward to working it was so much fun being with him. After I was in a bad car accident I was put on L&I which covered the cost of my treatments treatments. As time went on I would ask Kenny when L&I would run out but he told me not to worry he would let me know. I found out that I had run out quite some time ago and that Kenny had just kept treating me "on the house" as he put it. There are many times I would be eating in a restaurant and see Kenny and he would come over and chat. I would go to pay my bill and it had been paid. I had not seen Kenny in 3 years since I have moved to Washington State and have been attending college. Upon graduation this month I drove down to Lodi for a visit. The first person I wanted to see when I got to town was Kenny. I wanted to share with him that I went back to college and graduated. He gave me two bear hugs one when I came in and one when I left. When he found out my girlfriend had arthrites he grabbed some cream from the file cabinet and told her to use it every night. The visit included a treatment and advice about job searches. It was a great visit and I wish I would have told him how much I loved him and looked up to him. God wanted me to see him that one last time and I know that the spur of the moment trip that I took to Lodi the Friday before his death was not and accident. I was given a chance to say goodbye to a dear friend. That visit will always live in my memories. I prayed today thanking God for putting Kenny in my life and as I was walking I looked down and saw a baseball at my feet. I felt sadness but I had to smile. To the entire Wolf family you are in my prayers.

It evolved from Dr. Wolf to Ken to Kenny or Wolf. This man is truly a healer; not only of bodies but of minds and emotions as well. I cannot say how much I appreciate what he did for James; words fail me. Wolf gave James and me his friendship, his ear, his time; he gave James hope when things looked so bleak. A healer in all ways and a man who truly lives (I won't say lived because his spirit lives on); a man who *truly* lives the words "family of man" Everyone was embraced in his big bear hugs and felt safe and secure; felt that things would turn out OK. He could grumble and grouse; but it was a cover for his deep love of those around him; especially his family. Marilyn, Karrie, Steven, Kelly, Virginia....all I can say is that Wolf is ONE HELL OF A GUY!!! I've shed some tears, I've been stunned; but most of all - no disresepct intended - I've found myself smiling and laughing out loud when I think, "Boy! Is God going to have his hands full and wondering if there are casinos in heaven!"

This is my only real chance to say goodbye to my Uncle Kenny. I would like to take this opportunity to tell my family that I wish I could be there for all of you. I miss you and on behalf of my own family, I offer our sincerest condolences. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Forever burned in my soul will be Uncle Kenny's happy smile and his arms always ready for a hug. The last time I saw Uncle Kenny was when I was in junior high school, over a decade and a half ago, too long on any account. There are people that leave a mark on you and he was one of them. I remember our trip to Lake Tahoe and riding in the big Cadilla and going to my first concert "Kool and the Gang", his love of Aunt Marilyn's cooking and watching us swim in the lagoon in their back yard. He always made sure we had a dollar in our pocket for the little grocery store that was in walking distance of the house. I'll never forget trying Chinese food for the first time in his favorite restaurant. I wish for Uncle Kenny to "Celebrate Good Times" in heaven. You will always hold a special place in my heart. If you are ever at the roulette table watching over me, I always bet on 3-7-13 and 22. Help keep the ball out of the green. Love always, Tara

I went to high school with Kenny and was a patient of his from time to time. In our little group of kids who hung out together, we were all given nicknames out of affection for one another, and Kenny was "the Coyote". Kenny gave back much to his hometown and I was saddened to hear of his passing. I know he will be greatly missed by his family and the community. As we grow older and hear of the passing of one of our peers, we are reminded that time is short, and we need to hear the music before the song is over.

Dear Wolf Family, I was driving by the office today and saw the flowers, my heart dropped. I went and got the paper and saw the sad news. Just last week I wanted to stop in and say hello. Now I wish so much that I would have. I started out babysitting Karrie's beautiful kids Mitchell and Morgan and then Kenny gave me the best job ever, answering phones in his office when it was closed (he told me an answering machine was not good enough for his patients he wanted them to talk to someone when they called). He was amazing to me I would not have been able to get through the college that I did get through without him. Not to mention all the pointers he gave me before I would venture out to Jackson!He would allow me to do my homework there at the office. He was wonderful, his whole family is wonderful. I wish I could thank him for all he did for me in order for me to start out in life. I will thank you though, thank you Marilyn, Karrie, Kelly and Steve for sharing him with all of us he was the BEST!!

Back in 1970-71 I was a young 16 year old girl. Dr. Wolf gave me my first job. I worked for him every Sat. morning from 8-12 for a crisp $20 bill. He had just started his practice and bought a shiny new corvette! One time he took me to lunch for my birthday, after work and I got to ride in his new corvette. Boy, did I feel special! Another Sat. he was all excited about going to a horse race when he got done at noon. He knew the lady that owned a special horse and he knew it was going to win! He asked me if I wanted him to make a bet for me. I gave him $10 of my $20 to bet on this great horse. The next Sat. I came to work and couldn't wait to see if the horse had won. Sure enough it had won and he turned my $10 into 50 big ones. Boy was I excited! Back in the 70's $50 was alot of money for a 16 year old girl. I never placed another bet, but we're lucky he didn't turn me into a gambler! haha He was a wonderful man and a great friend. Whenever I came into the office for an adj. he would give me his fatherly advise. I knew he cared about me and would always be there for me, if I ever needed him! I found out yesterday at his memorial that everyone felt that way about him. He was a great man and a wonderful caretaker. It was hard yesterday, but I left flowers at the office door and that was my way of saying I Love You and goodbye. I will miss him for the rest of my life!

When I heard Steven mention Ken always doing things in a timeframe reminded me of the first time I met Kenney in 1987 or '88. It was @ Woodbridge CC & we were playing in a tournament. We introduced ourselves to each other & he knew I played with his brother Steve & had beaten him in a previous match. We then played our match & I kept noticing he kept looking at his watch. With each hole we played he kept looking at his watch. We finished the first 9 holes & he looked at me & said "Good Luck & I really enjoyed playing with you & I hope you win the rest of your matches". Confused, I said, "Ken we have 9 more holes to play", his reply was, as he looked at his watch again, "I know, but I only have 17 minutes to get to the Racetrack!!"

Dr. Wolfe was there ever since I was born. I remember my dad would go for adjustments every week and I would love to go because I would get a Tootsie Pop sucker. The place always smelled of that Wintergreen salve/balm stuff and I loved it. I still love that smell to this day. This man was the nicest man ever. He was truly one of those people that always see the good in everyone. He was one of the only people who never gave up on my dad when everyone else did. He was so understanding and loving. He was also a character. He lived a life of a great many adventures and hobbies. He helped my mom in some of the most darkest times of our lives and gave us hope in bouts of darkness. For that alone, I will be forever grateful. Even when I was 20 years old....he still gave me a sucker on my way out and told me I was a good girl. He has touched so many lives in my small little town that I wish I could go to the funeral today. I know there will be standing room only. This man was deeply loved. He must of put so many people in his heart that it just could hold no more. I'll miss you Dr. Wolfe

It is with a great deal of sadness I am writing this. As I read through the many tributes, it was hard to think of anything that someone has not already mentioned about Kenny - his generosity, fun to be around, witty, kind-hearted and an all-around great guy with an infectious laugh. What I'll miss most about him is how he opened up his home to my family and I when we visited from Iowa. Every time I was leaving to come home, he would tell me I was always welcome in his home and to come back soon. I will never forget the wild, fast rides up the mountain to Tahoe for the weekend or for New Year's Eve and the time I missed my plane because we couldn't get through the pass because of an avalanche. He always had several of his favorite restaurants he had to take me to when I visited - good food was one thing Kenny knew a lot about - how he loved to eat! To Marilyn and Family, please accept our heartfelt condolences. We were grieved to hear about Ken's sudden death and are so sorry about the tremendous loss you must be feeling. With affection, Sandy

Dearest family...Dr. Wolf played a very important part in our lives. Aside from being a great chiropractor, he was one of the kindest big hearted people we have ever known. He seemed like more than a doctor. He was a counselor also. Actually he was like the Marcus Welby of Chiropractors. He got our son Jim through the injuries of two car accidents and was a good friend to him through his high school and Jr. College years. Jim used to help Dr. Wolf with his yard work and remembers everything that Dr Wolf shared with him during those special times together. Last week, Jim made a trip to Lodi and when he returned to Kirkland told us about the great visit he had with Dr. Wolf and Dr. Wolf giving him a free adjustment and a free jar of cream for his friend. For Kurt and I, we loved Dr. Wolf and we trusted him. He was always there for us through the years. One time we were the last patients of the day. He walked over to us reached in his pocket and handed us fifty dollars and told us to go to a steak house in Stockton that he liked. When I had major surgery, a big beautiful bouquet was delivered to our home, upon my return from the hospital. This is the kind of human being that Dr. Wolf was. As I said, more than just a chiropractor. We left Lodi and moved to the Seattle area in 1991. To this day, we have searched for a chiropractor like Dr. Wolf. We think one doesn't exist. He was a one of a kind. Today, our family is very heartbroken over Dr. Wolf's death. We know we were blessed to have found him and had him as our doctor....and friend. We are praying for God to give comfort to you, dear family.

Dearest Marilyn and Family, No one could make us laugh like Kenny! He was warm, gentle, and had such a healing touch. Both Dino and our daughter, Suzanne, were relieved of their back pain when Kenny treated them. He was honest and told Dino that only an operation could help his back. Suzanne is in Vancouver now for the summer visiting her fiance who is a professional soccer player and we called to tell her about Kenny's passing. She said how she remembers that day in high school when her back completely gave out and Dino carried her to Kenny's office. "Dr. Wolf" brought her out of her pain and suggested that maybe less ballet on her toes would be beneficial to her healing. She was so scared, but your Kenny comforted her and she was able to walk again. She said that she has always had a special place in her heart for him. Dino and I would love to run into you and Kenny at the casino and we remember when you were all meeting your children for dinner at the "Lone Wolf" in Jackson. (That was the night that Marilynn won on the penny machine!!) We enjoyed our New Year's together and remember the wonderful stories of how the kids have grown; their sports' successes; their teaching pre-school; their difficult childbirths. They are precious children who were and are loved so much. We send our love to all of you and know what a loss this is and yet Kenny is still here. Everytime a grandchild laughs and you hug your children, Kenny will be there. His grin, his warmth, his adventuresome spirit, his enduring love will surround all of you. We will always keep that all-knowing grin of his in our memory. I am crying as I write this because I can think of no other father, besides my husband, Dino, who loves their family with the depth and unconditional love that Kenny loves his wife and children and grandchildren. I don't say "loved" in past-tense, but rather "loves" because his death will never stop his love. Our sympathy and love to all of you, Patty, Dino and Suzanne

Dear family members: I met your mother, dear Mickey, 4 yrs. ago a week or two after she lost her dear Charlie. I IMMEDIATELY fell in love with her. We belong to the same church, clubs, etc. She is a sweetheart, as nice as can be, full of fun, and every member of her family that I have met, at her 80th, or after are just as nice. I am so very very sorry about your beloved Kenny's passing but did want Marilyn and all of his family to know he had a beautiful service. I so enjoyed all who spoke of him today. I just know Kenny will always be with you all, always, and am so very pleased that I have been involved with all of you. Your friend, Millie

To Marilyn, Karrie, Steven, and Kelly (My God Child) First of all that I love you all! I want to say that I have been blessed with a second family. I thank Kenny and Marilyn for trusting with your children. I can remember when I first started to babysitting Kelly was only two years old, and still in diapers. He also made me laugh, He always had a smile on his face and a hugs for me he always made me feel special. When I was in High School I would take his Vet on Friday or Saturday nights to cruise down School Street and to Pirzza Garden. Kenny you were like a Big brother to me. Kenny and Marilyn you always made sure that if were going on trips you wound take me along. We went to Aptos, Reno, San Francisco, Sacramento, Los Angeles, and the time you took me to Lake Tahoe for New Years Eve and to the basketball games with the guys from U.O.P. There is so many things to list. I wasn't just not the babysitter I was family. You always took care of me when I needed something, you shared your home with me, Marilyn taught me how to cook. Kenny and Marilyn you have shared all of your family with me. I was their when Mitchell, Morgan, Cameron and Jorie (my special little princess) was born. I am so thankful that I called the office on Wedneday afternoon to talk to Karrie, and you picked up the phone we had talked for about 20 minutes I will never forget our conversation. (I am so glad that I didn't hang up). I will never forget you. or Mariyln. Marilyn, if you need anything you know how to get a hold of me. Just one more thing you both did a GREAT job with raising wonderful children Karrie, Steven, Kelly they are something to proud of. I will always love all of you. Thanks again for letting me be apart of your family. I will keep you in my prayers. Good Bye for now. I will see you when I get to Heaven, Love you lots, Brenda - aka Brenda Buns
