Rene Arthur Wolf died on March 24 at his home in Ajijic, Mexico, just a few months shy of his 100th birthday on July 30. Raised in Needles, California, Wolf entered the Army in 1944, and was sent to Stanford to study engineering. He prepped at Amherst and won a competitive appointment to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1946. Upon graduation in 1950, as a civil engineer, Wolf was assigned to the 1st ECBn in Germany. After two tours in South Korea, a tour in Japan and another tour in Turkey, he retired as a lieutenant colonel in 1971 to become the head of facilities planning and engineering at Martin Marietta Aerospace in Denver, Colorado. Wolf became an attorney after passing the Tennessee Bar in 1984. Arrangements are pending.
