Following the birth of my youngest child,I was urged to return to work at the K.U. office of administrative information systems. I explained that I could not, because i had no suitable babysitter. Paul volunteered his family until I could find one who could come to my house to care for a 3month old and a 4 year old. The wonderful Wolfe family took care of my children with with great care and a wonderful sense of fun. Paul's generous spirit, sense of humor and sense of family were very inspirational for me. He was smart, efficient and kind. I enjoyed working with him and getting to know his wonderful family.

I never met Mr. Wolfe, but I was a classmate of John's and had nothing but deep admiration and respect for John and all of his siblings. I am sorry for your loss. Prayers for all of you.

Paul will be remembered by the students, staff and faculty of the Computer Science Telecommunications Program (now CSEE) at UMKC. He made a great impact and helped us move forward. May he rest in peace.
