HONORING OUR FRIEND GEORGE WOLF – One of the most humble men I have ever met. A true cowboy and cattleman. Along with his faithful & hard-working wife, Irene, ran one of the most picturesque ranches along the Little Missouri River, north of Medora. We had the pleasure of getting to know them 34 years ago, when they came to buy bulls, private treaty, which they continued to do until they retired and sold the ranch. They became so much more than customers….they were great friends. Our memories of George run deep. The sharp wit, his love of people and oh, the storytelling. As a young man, he got to know and work for some of the pioneer ranchers in the area. He shared a lot of what he experienced and also the many legends that he had heard. I loved listening to him share. Our children have many great memories, as well. Especially, the rattlesnake he caught and saved between two 5-gallon pails (the day before we were coming for a weekend visit), just to show us how easy it was to kill one. He said, “You cut the head off and make sure to throw the head one way and the body the other way, so that they don’t find each other.”
His kind words and the praise he would heap on others, will be what I remember most about him.
We all lost a great man, whom we will never forget.
Pray for his wonderful wife, Irene, who cared for him at home, until his last days.
Rest in Peace, dear friend.
Until Jesus returns, Terry, Cathy & family.
