Harold “Harry” P. Wolf, passed away on Wednesday, May 3, 2023. He was born on August 26, 1937 in Barton, WI to Herbert Phillip Wolf and Luciana Margaret (Simon) Wolf.  Harry graduated from St. Mary’s Elementary School in Barton in 1951. He then entered St. Francis Seminary in Milwaukee, WI for 8 years and graduated high school from there in 1955. Harry went on to graduate college and become a Catholic priest for the Archdiocese of Milwaukee in 1959.  Later in his career, Harry became a hospital chaplain.  A few years after that, he decided to leave the priesthood because he felt a calling to have his own family. He then obtained his master’s degree and became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. 

Harry was an avid UW Badger’s fan and an unwavering fan of the Cleveland Indians and Browns. He loved to bowl and go boating. He also loved time with his family. He took a lot of pride in his sons and grandchildren.

Harold is survived by his sons Simon (Tara) Wolf, Jude (Debby) Wolf, Thomas (Lora) Strobel, and Shane (Kaitlin) Nibbe as well as his granddaughters, Ariana and Adelyne. He also leaves a loving brother, Herb (Jenny) Wolf and sister in law Evelyn (Marvin) Wolf along with many relatives and dear friends. 

Harold was preceded in death by his parents; 3 brothers Marvin, Simon (Clara), Arthur (Joanne) Wolf; and 1 sister Adeline (Ken) Wolf Lemke as well as family and beloved friends.
