I was just watching my hero John Wlash on Americas Most Wanted and was speaking to my Step Son about bad people and remembered a tragic story that for me started in 1989. I was a 6 year veteran patrolling the streets of the 44th Pct in the South Bronx in New York City. While on patrol one day, my partner and I heard shots fired. As we rounded the corner, we observed 3 males firing guns towards a group of people. I hit my siren hoping to direct their attention away from the crowd. The three took off running and split up. I caught one, my partner caught the second one and I put over a radio description of the third one. He was apprehended by backup units. I remember the statements and actions the man who later killed Trooper Wolf and was happy to get him off the streets. Six months later I got a call to respond to my Precinct where I was met by several Detectives. They asked me if I had seen the person who I had arrested the year before in the last 24 hours. I had not seen him and was under the impression that he was in jail. The detectives told me that he had taken the life of a Trooper I never knew the name of the Trooper whose life this savage had taken. Now I do know his name and know that he was a hero! God Bless your Soul and I am sure your family is proud. You paid the ultimate sacrifice and are now watching over us. Retired NYC Police Officer Your heroism and service is honored today, the nineteenth anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer. Phyllis Loya You have not been forgotten! Today I was at the Memorial Ceremony in Honor of yourself and other Fallen Heroes.I continue to pray for God to comfort your loving family, and friends.I know you are with the Angels far in the heavens above.God Bless! Police Dispatcher Sara Singleton It is hard to believe it has been 18 years since this happened. I went to Glen Burnie High School and watched Ted and his brother Dave play baseball and basketball. I was on interstate 95 south on that rainy day in March 1990. I was passing as the news media was arriving and saw Ted still sitting behind the wheel of his cruiser. It is a day that I will never forget. I did not find out until later that day that it was Ted. I see the flowers that are placed there every year under the bridge on the north side of I-95. And everytime I go past it puts a lump in my throat. You will be forever missed. David Macomber YOU ARE REMEMBERED TODAY AND THANK YOU SIR FOR YOUR LONG AND DEDICATED SERVICE, YOU ARE A HERO JUST BY THE PROFESSION YOU CHOSE, GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL THOSE THAT LOVE YOU VANDENBERGHE I was in highschool when you were killed. I remember exactly where I was when I heard the news, first period Spanish. I went home and that night and while doing my homework I started to cry and then sob. I wouldn't watch the news because I was so upset. I remember you from elementary school when you used to talk to us. I have never known anyone who was as decent and kind as you. You were a great, great light in this world. I was inspired to be a better person because of you. You had such an impact. You were truly loved. I would love to tell you that one day. May God bless you, because I was blessed by you.
It is hard to believe that it is almost 18 yrs later and your passing seems like only yesterday. Although I never meet you, your untimely death touched me deeply. I remember your funeral and all that came to pay their respects to you and your family. I hope your family has found peace in knowing that you are with God.
A hero need not speak, for when he is gone, the world will speak for him. Corporal The year was 1974 I had just joined the Maryland National Guard 175th. There I met a guy who was kind and funny. He had a way with folks of all races. He made our time in the Guard enjoyable. He will be missed by all who knew him. Johnnie D. Taylor "The Badge" Investigator David L Bell It was your pre-mature death and sacrifice that first led me to law enforcement. I was still in college trying to figure out what it was I wanted to do in life. I remember standing on an overpass watching the procession carrying you to rest that spring day. It went on and on. I remember the grief I felt, yet I also remember realizing there was my calling. That is what this profession is, a calling, not a job. Upon graduating from college, I began applying to different agencies, and you were my initial inspiration. You will always be remembered, and you did not die in vein. Sleep in peace. Please continue to watch over those of us who make it possible for others to sleep safely at night. God Bless. Sergeant Wayne Trapp I am the daughter of a fallen Baltimore City Police Officer. Growing up every time I would hear about a fallen officer, it was like it was my dad all over again. I remember when Corporal Wolf was taken from his family and I think of his children all of the time and wonder how they are doing. If it brings any comfort your husband and father is still thought of and spoken about so often by people like me that didn't even know him personally. He lived a hero and will always be remembered as such. My dad was killed when I was only 6 months old and even now 33 years later, people always want to talk to me about my dad and tell me stories. Remember to share all of your memories with your own children and be sure that the grandchildren know all about the grandfather that is a hero to so many people that he didn't even know. I have always kept your family in my prayers and I will continue to do that, so just remember many people are thinking about you when you don't even know. God bless you and your family. Frances (Whitby) DiNatale Ted, Sergeant Richard W. Speake Ted, Sergeant Richard W. Speake Ted, Tim Porter Sgt. Retired Cpl. Wolf, Mark Schilli What an absolutely infuriating paragraph I just read regarding your death. Parole or no parole, these animals will have to face a much higher authority at some point at which time I hope you are there to meet and greet them and guide them to their final destination. Know that you will never be forgotten for your actions and sacrifice sir. Rest in peace always. Cpl/1 Steven Rizzo My prayers are with you and your family on this anniversary. Rest easy Brother. Former Police Officer GD Bless
I will never forget attending the motions hearing the defendant was making in an effort to relieve himself of any responsibility in your death. I joined dozens of uniformed officers in showing support to honor and prove your death was not in vein. I was the only officer who was holding a small child, as I was alone that day. It simply made me want to hug my baby closer and closer. Brian Rich Although we did not work very long together, I learned some valuable things from you. I carry those with me to this day and won't ever forget your "typical cop humor" or your leadership (especially important as a young trooper at the time). I was honored to escort your parents to the D.C. Memorial in May of 2005. Thanks for your sacrifice...it is not in vain!! Sgt. Matt Jones Thank you for being a hero.
I salute you for your service and honor you for your sacrifice.
Cpl. Wolf, Jennifer R. Aaron Just thinking of you and your family on this day. Please watch over us. Anonymous
