WOLFE, Ronald (Ron) Frederick
May 23, 1933 – Foremost, Alberta
September 19, 2018 – Calgary, Alberta
It is with great sadness that the family of Ronald (Ron) Frederick Wolfe announce his passing on September 19, 2018 at the young age of 85 years. Ron fought a valiant battle with Melanoma; he was surrounded by his devoted family throughout this fifty day journey. We would like to offer our deep thanks to the Palliative Care Unit #47 at Foothills Medical Centre. This unit provided exceptional, loving care.
During his career, Ron was employed by Superior Propane as the divisional manager for Western Canada; retiring in 1988 after thirty years of service. At the age of 55, Ron started his own company: Wolfe Signs, which he truly enjoyed working at until the day before he fell ill. Ron loved to fish, volunteer at Spruce Meadows, and spend time with his family. Nothing brought him more joy than having the family over for a barbecue dinner. He will be greatly missed.
Ron is survived by his loving wife Doris Wolfe (nee Karl); four sons and daughters-in-law, Bob and Chris, Rawn and Rene, Rick and Chris, and Blair and Maria; three daughters and two sons-in-law Tammy and Dave, Tracey, and Shannon and Dennis; seventeen grandchildren; and fifteen great-grandchildren.
