THE REVEREND JAMES GARNETT WOLF

Condolences & Memories (12 entries)

• I met James while running a safe house in Winnipeg. He cooked for the residents and councilled them. He was always in a joyful mood. The Lord blessed him with insight about abuse victims. He nailed it on the head with me and the Lord gave him the gift of the Word. I love you Jim and we'll see you in heaven one day. - Posted by: Isabelle Fiola (friend and victim of abuse) on: Aug 26, 2014

• I just learned of Jim’s passing having been out of the country this summer so please forgive these belated comments. I am pleased to have known Jim as a friend, mentor, and both as a brother and father in Christ. Jim taught me a lot about forbearance, kindness, the mystery of the faith, and was instrumental in helping me to plumb more deeply the depths of worship. I spoke to Jim on the phone several months ago. If he knew about his illness then he did not let on. This was typical “Jim” – always focused on others. I’m sad to lose my dear friend in this world but know that he has simply gone before me into the fullness of the Communion of the Saints in the Kingdom of our Lord. Bless you Jim! The Rev. Dr. D.

• When Jim and his family first moved to Canada we met them at St. Catherine's Anglican Church in Port Coquitlam, B. C. They became friends with my family and eventually when my daughter was born I asked him to be her God Father. She was his first God Child. I haven't seen Jim for years but was proud to have him as my friend. I chose him because he had a gentle spirit. Peace my old friend. - Posted by: Glenda Craig (Friend from long ago) on: Aug 18, 2013

• Rev. James Wolf was very compassionate, kind, with a generous heart to individuals and social injustices. Pastor Jim officiated my mother's funeral. My mother was part of his senior's ministry of weekly bus trips (originally travelling on the Canterbury Bell) for many years. Pastor Jim gave joy to many senior's lives ... he was always in a joyful spirit. Pastor Jim was our family friend and a genuine friend to many others. My sincere condolence to family, extended family and grandchildren. Pastor Jim is greatly missed ... we were all so very fond of him. With many tears shed ... I miss Jim a lot.

• Jim's mind, heart and arms were always open. He officiated at my marriage ceremony and baptized both of my daughters while at Christ Church, and he was the person who said yes to officiate at my husband's memorial service at Silver Heights United. I will always remember his kindness and inclusive thinking. My deepest comfort to his family. - Posted by: Nancy Edge McKinnon () on: Jul 23, 2013

• Rev. James Wolf was a kind, compassionate and huge hearted individual. I first met him 14 years ago when a student of mine, newly arrived from a refugee camp in Kenya, was in extreme distress. We were put in touch with James who over the next few years counseled and befriended my student. We kept in touch as this young man became in trouble with the law, was incarcerated and unfortunately was eventually deported to Somalia. I lost touch after this. James cared about this young man when few did. I admire his vision of social justice and I am so deeply saddened to hear of his death. I wish I had kept in touch. My heartfelt condolences to his family. The world has lost a good and decent man. - Posted by: Deb Thordarson (acquaintance) on: Jul 21, 2013

• Reverend Jim Wolf was a great & caring man. He would deliver Communion services to my elderly grandparents when they couldn't make it to church. He was also a very good friend & sounding board to my Grandma, Helen Hourie. He helped her & our family through the death of her daughter, Verna, in October 2012. He was also there to listen to anyone who would seek his guidance. My Grandmother Helen passed away in May & Reverend Wolf was there for her burial even in his ailing state. I'm sure they're having a great time in Heaven. R.I.P. Reverend Wolf. - Posted by: Tera Hourie (Friend & parishoner at St. Philips of Scanterbury) on: Jul 20, 2013
