Today another one of my friends went to rest in Wood Colony Cemetery. Most of you never knew him, but John Wolf was an inspiration whenever you did get to know him. From his faithful selfless devotion to "Ginny" and the countless patient hours of card games he played with her through her Alzheimer journey to his quiet, unassuming attitude about life, his joy at the joy of others, and his repeated embarrassment that we would actually stop to talk to him when we had others around, I hope to be more like him.
Another "Well done!" rolls down from the courts of Heaven, calling another son to glory, and the little truck and hard hat will be seen no more on the country roads of Stanislaus County. And so we wait, we weep a little, and we rejoice in return at his newfound joy.
