Charles K. Wolf

Charles K. Charlie' Wolf, 45, of Westover, WV, formerly of Pittsburgh, PA, passed away unexpectedly on Friday August 16, 2013 at his home. He was born November 9, 1967 in Harrisburg, PA son to Rudolph J. and Suzanne McIntosh Wolf of Dillsburg, PA. Charlie graduated from Moon Twp. High School and then attended WVU, where he earned dual Master's degrees in ESL and Special Education. Charlie was employed at East Fairmont Middle School in Fairmont, WV where he was teaching in the foreign language department, but Charlie did not limit his teaching to his middle school students. He shared his "wisdom" with many; sometimes unsolicited, but that is what made him Charlie. He was strong in his convictions but always championed the underdog. Whether you agreed with his philosophy or not, you knew that it came from a good place. Charlie was someone with a great big heart and an infectious smile who really wanted the best for everyone. As someone who loved to teach, Charlie would be happy to hear that so many of the comments on his passing were people expressing how much they learned from him. Charlie was a guy who could debate you on just about any topic, show you how to kayak the rapids and correct your conversational French all while keeping you up to date with the latest and greatest in the music world. Charlie has taught much to many and we are all better for it but what he taught best was how to be a good friend. He will truly be missed. In addition to his parents, Charlie is survived by a brother Rudolph Rudy' Wolf and wife Kerry of Clinton Township, NJ; sister Amy Burke and husband John of Reston, VA and his faithful canine companion Scout. Also surviving are his nieces and nephew Kala Burke, Shannon Burke, Maura Burke, Brian Wolf, Allison Wolf and Jessica Wolf. He was preceded in death by, grandparents Charlie McIntosh, Gertrude McIntosh, Rudolph Wolf, and Marion Wolf and beloved uncles Bob Wolf and Jim McIntosh. Honoring Charlie's wishes cremation was provided by the Fred L. Jenkins Funeral Home. One of Charlie's favorite places to visit with friends in the Morgantown area was 1 2 3 Pleasant Street. To celebrate and remember his life, friends will be received at 1 2 3 Pleasant Street, Morgantown, WV 26501 on Saturday August 24, 2013 at 2pm.
