Robert Gregory Wolf passed away on Thursday, June 3, 2021, in Athens, Alabama. He was born in Oklahoma City on November 6, 1932, to Felix Gregory Wolf and Martha Florence Randall Wolf. The second child and first son, he was born to the young couple during the early years of the depression of the 30s. The family lived in the home built by Felix in 1929 for his soon-to-be wife, Martha. What the family lacked in material wealth was more than compensated by the love, close-knit family bonds, and deep faith.
Bob, one of seven children, attended school at St. Joseph Catholic School where he excelled in his studies, played basketball, and graduated from high school in 1950. He was always considered a bit of a challenge by his parents as schoolwork, according to his mother, was not challenging enough for the bright student with an incredible memory and a talent for math and science. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree from Central State University (now the University of Central Oklahoma). In November of 1954, he married Margaret Elaine Dixon at St. Francis of Assisi in Oklahoma City. A few months later he joined the Army, and he and his wife moved to New York. Where his daughter, Linda, was born in July 1955. As his Army service required several relocations, his wife and daughter returned to Marge’s hometown of Raton, New Mexico, to temporarily stay with her parents.
