Gary Wolf, age 79, of Bonduel, passed away in Libertyville, Illinois, on Saturday, November 27, 2021.  On February 16, 1942, Gary was born in Shawano, Wisconsin, son of the late Henry and Caroline (Manthei) Wolf.  Gary graduated from Oconto Falls High School in 1960.  On September 14, 1963, Gary was united in marriage to the love of his life, Lorraine Nischke at Zion United Methodist Church in Bonduel.  Gary worked at the Morgan Co-op milk plant and then Liebman Packing in Green Bay until Liebman was bought out.  In 1968 Gary and Lorraine purchased a dairy farm outside of Bonduel.  Gary was a hard worker, even in recent years he enjoyed “supervising” from his four-wheeler and would greet you with his signature wave.  Outside of work, Gary enjoyed snowmobiling and traveling with Lorraine and some of their close friends.  A man of steel with a heart of gold, Gary loved life and his family.  He had a great sense of humor and a contagious smile.  Gary was a one-of-a-kind devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather and his legacy will be forever remembered by his family and friends.
