  7. Deepest sympathies to the family of Mr. Wolff. I have fond memories of Coach Wolff during the late 80’s (87-89) at Midpark High School. Having never played tennis before, I learned a lot in those 2 years. He made us work (and run laps!) but also allowed for a little fun.

    God Bless.

  18. To The Wolff family:

    So sorry to hear of Ed’s death. We spent two weekends together every year for over 30 years at the state high school basketball tournaments. Of all those along press and photographer row, Ed was my best friend. He took many pictures for me over the years, of my great nephew when he played ball boy several years, of me and my cohorts among the press, and for stories on players or officials in the tournaments that I would write stories on for my former newspapers.
    We also worked together when he would send tennis mailings to me at the OHSAA office for me to process, sack and deliver to the post office.
    I will certainly miss him — especially at next year’s state tournaments.
    My deepest sympathy.

  19. Sorry we could not be with you today. You will be in our thoughts and prayers. Will be in touch when I can.

    Bill and Mary Lou

  20. Dear Sharon, So sorry to hear of your fathers passing..I know you both had a special father-daughter bond. He is in your heart and he will smile at you through every bloom. Thoughts and prayers for you and your family. (((Hugs))) Love Terri glenn and ashton

  21. So very sorry to hear of Ed’s passing. I had the privilege of working with him when I was AD at Magnificat. He brought such a professionalism and joy to everything he did. He did so much for so many over the years and he was truly instrumental in the growth of our tennis facilities at Mags. I am so sorry I wasn’t able to come and pay my respects to you all. I was out of town last week. Ed was a mentor to so many and I am honored to be one of them! But I will always treasure our friendship most of all! This world is a better place because he was here! With my heartfelt condolences! Therese

  22. Judy, Sharon and family
    Just received the obituary, but you have been in my prayers and thoughts since I talked to Sharon. As you know Ed was a friend and mentor, he will be greatly missed.
    My Blessings to your family.
    Maxine & Tony Yates
