RIP Werner. In a parallel universe you may have been an uncle or older brother. In this life you helped me when I needed help, mentored me when I needed mentoring, and made it possible for me to follow in your footsteps as a police officer, sergeant, and later on a Lieutenant/Commander. The best sense of humor I ever saw- chuckling with laughter as the flash money for a buy- a lot of money for the '80s, $900.00, was blown off the seat of my Harley by a blast of wind and everyone was horrified and scrambling frantically on our knees scraping the money off the gravel, except you- doubled over with laughter. You left this world a much better place than it was when you came into it. Rest easy, my brother. Lt. Mitch Librett (ret.), NRPD
It was an honor to have worked for you. You will be greatly missed.
Hello, my father- in- law just passed and his obituary is on this website. When getting to his, I came across Mr. Wolff's. I am at awe of Mr. Wolff's accomplishments and success not only in his career yet, his life. May his story inspire other men to strive for greatness! May your loved one rest in peace. I only pray that the happy memories live on forever and never go away.
