Wolf, Louis, Aug. 25, 1930- Oct. 17, 2014 Scottsbluff Star Herald Scottsbluff, Nebraska 25 Oct 2014 Louis Irvin Wolf, 84, passed away peacefully at home in Greeley, Colo., on Oct. 17, 2014. He was a third generation Coloradoan in a family that arrived in 1890 as Germans from Russia. Louis was born to Henry and Molly (Walters) Wolf on Aug. 25, 1930 in Milliken, Colo. and grew up in Johnstown. He graduated from Johnston High School in 1949 and attended the University of Colorado. Louis joined the US Air Force, and was honorably discharged in 1954 after service during the Korean conflict era, serving at bases in Denver, San Antonio, and Wichita. Following in his fathers footsteps, Louis pursued a career with Great Western Sugar that would span over 40 years before his retirement in 1993. He began as an electrician in Johnstown and received consistent promotions through the years, culminating with his position as Master Mechanic/Assistant Superintendent of the Greeley factory. Louis married Vivian Grinde in April 1956 in Scottsbluff, and eventually provided for a family of six children. He and Vivian moved the family six times across three states, finally settling in Greeley. Together they made each house a home. In his day he was an excellent water skier; avid hunter and fisherman; a supporter of wildlife conservation; an accordion player; enjoyed polka and Dutch-hops; and was a constant reader. Louis taught his children to be responsible and dedicated, to act with integrity and to always remember that what is worth doing is worth doing well. Louis is survived by children, Arthur Wolf (Holly) of Las Vegas, Nev., Cindy Kinlund (Bracken) of Greeley, Mary Walz (Gale) of St. Francis, Kan., Randi Wolf of Littleton, Colo., Nicholas Wolf of Greeley, and Barbara Chacon (Greg) of Longmont, Colo. Louis and Vivian have nine grandchildren, Montana (Kinlund) Mitchell, Emily Walz, Laurel (Kinlund) LaBonde, Amara Wolf, R.L. Walz, Andrew Wolf, Shelby Kinlund, Hali Wolf, and Michaela Wolf. Their first great-grandchild is on the way. Louis was preceded in death by his parents; older brother Henry, and younger brother Billy. His beloved wife of 58 years, Vivian, died 26 days previously on Sept. 21. A service for immediate family was held, and no additional services are planned.
