James “Jim” Wolfe
1923-2020
James “Jim” Wolfe (1923-2020) passed away October
21st, 2020 at the Veteran’s Health Care Centre in his 97th
year. Born in Moncton, he was the only son of the late Beatrice (nee
Crawford) and Carl Wolfe.
Jim was a World War II Veteran and served overseas as a
navigator with the Canadian Air Force. He was a founding and life
member of the Moncton Air Force Veterans Club.
Jim was
probably best known as “Sheriff Wolfe,” a position he held
for 30 years. He was the last of the local old-time Sheriffs. He later
became District Sheriff and Coroner.
Jim had an entrepreneurial spirit, a keen interest in
politics, a strong work ethic, and remained both mentally and
physically active right up until the end of his life. Jim enjoyed many
years at the family “Camp” on the Richibucto River with his
family, friends and dogs. In his leisure time he loved researching
family/local history, and was an avid story teller.
Jim is survived by his loving wife of 64 years, Geraldine
(nee Brown), his four children; Anne (Dave), Wayne (Kim), Brian
(Linda) and Bruce (Cheryl), six grandchildren; Sarah, Jeffrey, Kyle,
Haley (Joel), Ross (Claire) and Graham (Jaelyna) as well as three
great-grandchildren; Jackson, Russell and Reese. He was predeceased by
his grandson, Jared Storey.
The family would like to express a heartfelt thank you to the
wonderful nurses and doctors that cared for Jim at the Moncton
Hospital and the Veterans Health Care Centre.
Donations in Jim’s memory may be made to the
Friends of the Moncton Hospital or a charity of the donor’s
