Terry "Terrence" Wolfe, 68, of Vero Beach, Florida, passed away on January 11, 2024. He was born on January 2, 1956, in Columbus, Ohio, to the late Tom and June Wolfe. Terry was a loving father, grandfather, brother, son, boss and colleague. He had rough edges, but a soft center and loved making people happy. Terry was a self-made man who spent his life on the road as a salesman, working his way through the company to rise to the top and provide for his family in every way he could imagine.
Terry, a forever fan of THE Ohio State Buckeyes, high-priced steakhouses, and the best pizza in any town he visited, enjoyed gathering together and celebrating life's milestones with his loved ones.
He is survived by his wife, Louise Wolfe; his daughter, Jackie (Greg) Patrick; his son, Matthew Wolfe; his brother, Larry (Jodie) Wolfe; his grandchildren Nathan (Spencer) Ackison, Nicholas (Taylor) Ackison and great-granddaughter Averie Ackison. His brothers, Jimmy (Patricia) Fields and David (Shirley) Wolfe; his lifelong friend, Bill Brintlinger; and numerous nieces, nephews, and friends. Terry was preceded in death by his parents, brother Carl Wolfe, and his lifelong friend, Tim Brink.
During his career, Terry spent 34 years at V&S Galvanizing as Vice President and Director of Sales & Marketing. His loyalty and dedication to his colleagues and customers made him a prominent leader in the hot-dip galvanizing and steel construction industries. His efforts allowed the company to grow from a local galvanizer to a national business with multiple locations. Additionally, Terry served several terms on the Board of Directors of the American Galvanizer's Association.
After his career, Terry and Louise moved to Vero Beach for sunshine and family and enjoyed cheering on the OSU Buckeye Football team and spending time with Lance, his devoted cat.
