Obituary of Christopher Van Wolfe Appleton: Christopher Van “Chris” Wolfe, age 72, fell asleep in death on May 2, 2020 at his home. He was born March 2, 1948 in Medina to the late William and Marjorie (Jesson) Wolfe. He was a devoted member of Jehovah’s Witnesses. He spoke often of seeing his son Justin in the resurrection on a paradise Earth. He was a hard worker, loyal, selfless and humble man. He built his family business from the ground up and “never worked a day in his life”.
