Obituary for Junior L. Wolf
JUNIOR L. WOLF, 95 of Red Lion, PA died on August 22, 2018 in his home surrounded by loved ones. Born on August 3, 1923 in East Berlin, PA, he was a son of the late John G. Wolf and Elizabeth Mae (Gettys) Wolf. He was the beloved husband of Lucy W. (Stamper) Wolf with whom he had celebrated their 70th anniversary the day before.
Moving to the area at the age of 7, Junior was a member of Delta United Methodist Church for over 60 years and a past president of Slate Ridge Cemetery Association where he served for over 30 years. A “jack of all trades,” he was involved in numerous businesses. Junior sold seed corn for the former Delta Sales Company, a company that he later owned. In 1958 when the first reactor was ordered for the Peach Bottom Nuclear Plant, he served as sergeant of the guard during the construction. In the early 1970s, Junior operated an auctioneering business followed by working as a carpenter in home improvements with Harry McAllister. Starting in 1997, Junior and his wife traveled to Sebring, FL each winter to escape the cold. He and Lucy were very fond of square dancing with the Stewartstown Promenades.
In addition to his wife, he is survived by:
His daughter, Cordie Thompson, wife of Roger Thompson of Red Lion, PA
His brother, Charles M. “Bud” Wolf, husband of Jean Wolf of Fawn Grove, PA
His two grandchildren,
Steven Thompson, husband of Kristine of Madison, WI
Jennifer Rebert, wife of Chad Rebert of York, PA
His great granddaughter, June Rebert
Junior was preceded in death by his son, John L. Wolf who died in 1974.
