Richard C. Wolf, age 87, passed away December 6, 2021, at home surrounded by his family. He was born to Harry O. and Ursula M. (Gentemann) Wolf at St. Francis Hospital on October 2, 1934 and was a proud life-long resident of Colorado Springs. Richard graduated from Colorado Springs High School.
He is survived by his wife of 17 years, Gracie Wolf-Trujillo; his son Andrew (wife, Renita) Wolf of Colorado Springs; his daughters Sue (husband, Blake) Isner and Dawn Rae Wolf of Colorado Springs; many nieces and nephews and their families. He was preceded in death by his parents, his brother, Henry A. “Hank” Wolf, and sisters, Marie Doll Lemesany and Betty Lou Bissonnette.
Richard joined the United States Army in 1954 to serve in the Korean War. During his time in the Korean War, he served his country as a Paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division with combat service in the Korean Peninsula.
Upon returning to Colorado Springs, he began a successful career selling cars for more than 50 years. He believed that just like anything else in life, in sales you’ve got to do it right. He attributed his success to helping people.
