Leonard H. Wolfe

Leonard H. Wolfe, 93, passed away June 21, 2020, at Koda Living Community in Owatonna, MN.

Leonard was born in 1927, to parents Herman and Catherine (Killian) Wolfe in Independence. He graduated from Independence High School in 1945. In 1948, he married Bernice Kampa at Ss. Peter and Paul’s Catholic Church in Independence. The two moved to Wisconsin Rapids, where Leonard started his 42-year career working for Green Bay and Western Railroad. A few years later, the family relocated to Green Bay, where Leonard and Bernice settled down to raise their family.

Leonard loved the outdoors and enjoyed spending time in his early retirement years at his shared cabin in northern Wisconsin. He was an avid hunter and had a passion for fishing. He loved to get out on the water anytime he could to drop a fishing line with family and friends. Leonard enjoyed gardening and supplied his neighbors with plenty of vegetables every summer. He was also an avid card player and would always have time for a game of whist or pinochle. But most of all, Leonard enjoyed spending time with family, listening and telling stories and sharing a good laugh. He will always be remembered for his wry smile and keen sense of humor.

Leonard is survived by children: Judy Meier of Corona, CA., Daniel (Kathy) Wolfe of Owatonna, Jeff (Terri) Wolfe of Little Suamico; grandchildren: Michael Meier, Allison Meier and Cate (T.J.) River, all of California, Christopher Wolfe of Owatonna, Jessica Wolfe of Milwaukee, and Jordan Wolfe of Green Bay; and one great-grandson, Ryan Meier of California.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Bernice; parents; one brother; and three sisters.
