Well Bob, family and friends, this just takes another piece of my heart as Chief Wolfe was truly a good friend and a good soul. His impact on my life and memory will be with me forever. Truly heartfelt condolences to his family, what a loss for all.
My Condolences to the Wolfe Family and friends and Fellow Firefighters.
“Wolfe” as I knew him was one of two school mates who inspired me to join the York FD Explorer post. Godspeed Wolfe.
Was so happy to get a Chief at Ark City fire department that was also a MICT. He took the department to new levels of training and knowledge. He will be missed greatly.
The final bell has sounded, and Robert, aka “Bobby” is responding to the call. Career Wichita Wichita Firefighter. Retired as Battalion Chief.
You will be so missed. You were such a blast to be around always happy and full of life.
We are glad that we had the pleasure of you touching our lives in many ways. Ring of fire!!!
Love Todd and Rebecca Winkelmann
