| Frank J. Wolfe, Sr. Born Jan. 14, 1952 in Macy, Nebraska Crossed over July 19, 2006 in Hillsboro, Missouri A Marine Corps Veteran |
| A small group of us were able to attend Frank's funeral services in Macy, Nebraska. We were welcomed as Frank's Missouri family and even given a hunting cabin to stay in free of charge. The Omaha people are truly caring and loving. The cabin was near the Missouri River where Frank liked to go and walk. Below are some pictures of us at the river along with a small herd of buffalo near our cabin. This was Frank's favorite quiet place to visit. We said our final goodbyes to Frank while we were in Macy, but his spirit will always be with us. He will be missed. |
| I will be adding more to this page as I collect pictures and thoughts and stories from other people. This is just a beginning for this great man that we all loved and honored. |
| This painting was sent to us by Anita from Tennessee. She went to the Harrisburg, Illinois pow wow and took some photos of Frank, then went home and turned them into the oil painting that you see below. In the oil painting Frank is on the far right. Thank you, Anita, for sending this to us. I hope everyone likes it as much as we do. |
| Below is a small paragraph from a poem and thoughts written by Christine Blair to honor her brother Frank Wolfe. The entire poem will be read by Chris at the 2007 Osage River Pow Wow. "Frank believed that no matter what he was doing, there was always time..... Although his travels in this life took him many places, he never forgot his roots, He never forgot his people, and he never forgot his traditions. He always gave thanks to the Creator for showing him the patience to stop and enjoy life, no matter how rocky the road was." |
| Frank packed in a hurry for our pow wow this year and in the process he forgot his "drapers" and his arm bands. If you attended the Osage River Pow Wow in June you would have seen Frank wearing the U.S. flag for his drapers. What a wonderful solution to the problem. This was the last pow wow that Frank went to before he died. Frank was killed in a one vehicle accident near Hillsboro, Missouri, where he had been living with some friends. When his truck left the road and struck a tree, causing it to overturn, he died instantly of severe head trama. |
