Oct 16, 1934 - Mar 19, 2018
WOLFE, Fredrick Jerome (Jerry) passed away peacefully at home in Maitland, FL, on Monday, March 19, 2018, surrounded by family.
He was the beloved husband of Heather Brindle Wolfe for 38+ years. Born October 16, 1934, in Indianola, IA, to Beulah Flesher and Fred A. Wolfe, Jerry attended Iowa State University, where he was a member of the USAF ROTC before serving in the Air Force during the Cold War. In 1955 he was stationed in Frankfort, Germany, at the IG Farben Building, the principal location for the Marshall Plan's post-war reconstruction of Europe. Additional postings took him to the SAC base in Sidi Slimane, Morocco, in the 45th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron, and Ashiya Air Base, Japan, in the 483rd Troop Carrier Wing. During his off-duty hours, Jerry earned his black belt in karate.
After his military service he received his BBA at the University of Miami, followed by graduate work at Emory University. Jerry was a businessman and an adventurous entrepreneur. As a real estate investor and business owner in Central Florida during the 1960s and '70s, he served a term as president of the Park Avenue Merchants' Association in Winter Park. He was an avid tennis player, downhill skier and ocean sailor.
With Heather, he sailed the Atlantic seaboard and the Caribbean aboard their 45 foot sailboat "Après-Ski", and enjoyed retelling their tales over a bottle of Barbancourt rum.
Jerry's ventures included coal mines in Kentucky, oil wells in Louisiana and gold and silver mines in Arizona. He was a licensed stock broker, real estate broker, mortgage broker and charter boat captain. He was happiest when surrounded by family and friends.
In addition to wife Heather, Jerry is survived by daughter Abigail (Rusty) Rizor, sons Jesse and Peter and three granddaughters.
Graveside services will be held at Palm Cemetery, Winter Park on Saturday, April 21, 2018, at 2:00 p.m.
Donations may be made in his memory to the Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando at petallianceorlando.org or Best Friends Animal Society at bestfriends.org.
