Family Members:

He smiled with his eyes - which for all his eyes had seen was a remarkable testament to his strength and will.
As a Holocaust survivor who made his way to Israel as a young man. His service to Israel was rooted in his pride and love for the country and its people. Later, after living in many places across the world, he came to Michigan and made his mark in the automotive industry with both Sterling Mold and Gateplex Plastics. He was and will always be a mentor to many. His business acumen and personal counsel sought by many and always generously given.
With all his life accomplishments, coming home to a house he lovingly restored was the genuine highlight of his day. Outdoors he was happiest on his riding lawnmower or with his leaf blower in hand. Indoors he was most content with a stack of books by his chair, his osso bucco simmering on the stove and jazz music in the background. He was a supportive and loving husband; a dedicated father; and, a proud Saba to Jackson and Mia.

Wolf is the beloved husband of Bridgit Chayt. Dear father of Michael (Tricia) Chayt and Deborah (Dr. James) Bragman. Loving grandfather of Jackson Bragman and Mia Bragman. Devoted bother of Anna Chayt. Also survived by many other loving family members and friends.
