Memorial

Frank M. Wolfe was born in Hartford, CT November 24, 1931. He completed his high school education in Hartford and enlisted in the Coast Guard serving three years in Korean Theater. He graduated from Rollins College, Winter Park, FL on June 6, 1958, with a degree in Bachelor of Arts, Business Administration and psychology. He then attended Stetson University College of Law, St. Petersburg, FL and earned his Juris Doctor degree on January 28, 1961. Before moving to Cocoa Beach he was Special Assistant to the Attorney General of the State of Florida. He was a senior partner in Wolfe, Kirschenbaum & Taylor, which later became Wolfe, Kirschenbaum, Caruso, Mosley and Kabboord, a major law firm in Cocoa Beach, FL. He also served as City Attorney from 1963 to 1967. During those years he served on the board of several banks in addition to being one of the founders and directors of the Merritt Square Bank, Merritt Island, FL. From 1971 to 1981 he was CEO and Chairman of Leader International Inns, Inc., a large real estate company that owned and operated approximately 500 units in the Brevard County area. He was past Chairman of Ron Jon Surf Shop, headquartered in Cocoa Beach, FL, a large retailer known throughout the world. Mr. Wolfe was renowned for his architectural designing ability. He resided in the unique penthouse he built on top of the Glass Bank Building in Cocoa Beach, FL and he spent summer months in Maine where he designed and built a home on the Wells Reserve. He was generous to a fault and gave of himself to so many over the years, far too numerous to count. He was a loyal friend and advocate of the underdog. He demanded excellence of himself and his internal code of ethics was unshakable. He was loved by many. He left an impact on many lives and will not soon be forgotten. Died because he wanted to . . . Lived because he dared to.

Mr. Wolfe was a kind and generous man. I was so saddened to read about the way that Cocoa beach was treating someone who had done so much for that small community. When I came to Cocoa Beach as a young adult in the late 70's, Mr. Wolfe offered me a job at his unique Deli, "Wolfie's". That job enabled me to attend BCC and later the Univ. of So. Florida and ultimate enjoy a long career at NASA as a project manager. It would not have happened without Mr.Wolfe. I am grateful to his friends, who came to his aid in his struggles with Cocoa Beach. The City Government should be ashamed of how that handled this situation. Frank - May you rest in peace.

Frank, so sorry you had to go so soon. I feel so grateful for your friendship and your kindness to me and my parents, Bill and Elsa Johnson. You were such a dear friend to so many people and I feel very blessed to have known you. It seemed the places we would meet often were Publix and BJ's. The most unique place was the Waldorf Astoria, New York, in early May of 1982. Of all places, you were searching for a piano. It's such a small world. I wish I could have helped you with your heartbreak over the loss of your home. The only things I knew to do were listen, hug and pray that things would get better. I truly believe you are now in good hands and will live in peace and love forever. Thank you, Tina Johnson Powers and Johnson Family

Frank - knowing you was a gift. You brought out the best in me. When I graduated law school you made me promise you that I would never settle for mediocrity. I never have. You hoped I would never compromise my integrity. I never will. Most of all you wanted me to be true to myself. I always will. You have taught me well, my friend and I will never forget you for as long as I live. You left a hole in my heart the Universe could never fill. Thank you for all that you have given me, for all the conversations, and yes even for the disagreements. You helped me discover my strengths. You have enriched my life and my childrens' lives more than you ever knew - just by being you. I will miss you.
