Born Dec. 4, 1933, in Beaumont, Texas, he was the son of Otho D. Wolff and Mary P. Denman. Frank grew up in Anahuac, Texas, and served in the U.S. Air Force and the Air Force Reserves.
Frank graduated from Lamar State College of Technology with a bachelor degree of science in electrical engineering in 1963. Then he and his wife and children traveled the entire country as well as parts of Canada and Bermuda during his 29-year career with the U.S. Civil Service. He ended his travels and professional career at Bath Iron Works in Brunswick, Maine, in 1993.
As a young man, Frank was very active in the community and sports, building and maintaining the ice skating rink in Topsham for the Jaycees, attending his children and grandchildrens many sports and plays, playing table tennis, and being on the school board. In his later years, he became a very active member of the Waterville ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. A journey he had been interested in his whole life and was at peace having finally obtained.
Throughout Frank’s entire life music has been his true love. Whether Frank was playing his guitar, singing, dancing or just listening music seemed to soothe his soul and spirit, especially toward the end of his life. Also, Frank was an avid Bridge player. He competed in many bridge tournaments throughout Maine achieving life master level.
Frank is survived by his four daughters, Deborah Martin of Bridgton, ME, Mary of Bowdoin, ME, Kathy DeVoe of Naples, ME, and Cindy Fontana Naples, ME; 10 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren; and his friend, Dorothy Veilleux and her family.
Although our father will be deeply missed we know that he at last is at peace and without pain in his Father’s Home.
A memorial service will be held on Sunday, March 8 at 3 p.m. at the Waterville Church of Latter Day Saints. Burial services will take place at a later date in Anuahac, Texas. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in memory of Frank Wolff to the Humane Society of Waterville Area, 100 Webb Road, Waterville, ME 04901.
