Hello, my grandfather was Larry Wolf and he was my mothers father whom she never met because he was killed before she was born. Well, I’m trying to find out more about him as his stuff was passed down to me after my mothers death 5 years ago and wondering what the best way is for leaning about him with info I have. I have learned he was quite an athlete before getting drafted and have his awards from high school and college. Just thought I’d reach out and see if there’s more about him?
Thanks for your time!
