Joseph Wolff Obituary

When we sat in Joe Wolff's English classes in Lewis Towers in the mid-50s, we knew we were in a University. He made us think, analyze, and understand. Ironically, it was just a week ago that we talked about Loyola's great teachers and Joe Wolff was right up at the top.



Please accept our sympathy for your loss.

Dr. Wolff was one of my favorite professors at Loyola. His breadth of knowledge and keen insights opened a whole new world for me. I also enjoyed his wry wit and his quiet but steady encouragement.

My sympathies to Dr. Wolff's family and friends on the loss of this gentle and caring man.

To lose a husband and father is most difficult. May our faith in the Resurrection be your source of strength. My deepest sympathy to you.

I was a student of Dr. Wolff's at Loyola University back in the 1970's. Although I was a business major, I still regard Dr. Wolff as one of my favorite teachers from my days at Loyola. His ability to pass on the joy of reading to his students, plus his encouragement to better one's writing skills (I'm still working on it) are things I still think of many years later. My prayers are with his family.

I will never forget Joe. He will be a precious part of my childhood. Joe was a grandpa to us. We will keep him in our hearts forever!

We will miss you, Uncle Joe. You have been our role model for character, kindness and quiet strength. Aunt Mary Ellen, Alec and Monsignor Bob, you are in our thoughts, memories and prayers. Love, Mary Pat, John, Andrea, Rick and Michael

Alec:



Our deepest sympathies to you and your family on the loss of your father. Know that you and your entire family are in our thoughts and prayers, especially at this challenging moment and, for time to come.
