Bryant Edward Wolf was born in St. Louis, Missouri on October 15, 1922. He was a Veteran of WWII and served with the Army in the Pacific. He met his beloved wife, Florence Baker Wolf on VE Day, May 8, 1945. Graduating from Washington University in 1948, he was a member of Kappa Alpha Fraternity. He went on to be an exemplary science and mathematics teacher at Lake Highlands High School in Dallas, Texas until 1987. Florence preceded him in death in May 2010. Bryant is survived by his two sons, Bryant Edward Wolf, Jr. and Woolard Tatum Wolf, and his daughter, Whitney Baker Wolf. His sister-in-law Charlotte Baker Jackson also survives him. There are four grandchildren, Gabriel Bryant Wolf, Ashley Wolf Haskins, Hailey Dover Wolf, and Paige Tatum Wolf. He had a great grandson Erik Parker Haskins, a daughter in law, Karen Ball Wolf, and son in law, Richard Martin Kottle. Bryant is also survived by many close friends and relatives including Stephanie Wolf, Rick Coke, Laura Wolf, and Theressa Wood.

After they retired from teaching, Bryant and Florence lived for 23 years at Wildwood just outside of Harrison, Arkansas, where they loved their dogs, fed the birds, watched the bluebird nestlings, and took care of each other.

He will be missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him.

Bryant will be interred next to Florence and many family members in Oak Hill Cemetary in St. Louis, Missouri.

I'm sorry to hear of Mr. Wolf's passing. He was an outstanding teacher at LHHS. But more than that, he was a great friend. On outings away from school, I was instantly made to feel part of the big Wolf family and it's something I'll never forget!

Posted by: Mark Covington - Palm Springs, CA - Former Student Feb 05, 2012

I loved Mr. Wolf as my Physics teacher. Although I was the last one to get a test back...I appreciated all the effort it took to get physics into my arty non-mathematical mind. He was inspiring for his passion for teaching. May the M x A be with you!

I was a classmate of Whitney's ('70) but I skewed too lopsidedly to the Verbal side of the SAT to take any of Mr Wolf's classes. Outside his classroom was a favorite gathering place before the school day officially started. I remember that Mr Wolf was special among LHHS faculty not only for his teaching skills but for the respectful and encouraging way he always treated students, whether or not they were in one of his classes. Sincere condolences to Whitney & the entire Wolf clan--

Mr. Wolf was a teacher that touched so many minds, with his interest in each student that took his classes. I never was in his class yet know so many that he inspired. The family must know that he was loved by decades of Lake Highlands students and had impact on hundreds. He was a master of his craft, and will remain part of the rich history of our high school !

Mr. Wolf was easily one of the outstanding teachers I have learned from in all of my formal education. Thank you, Mr. Wolf.

Strings were pulled to get me into his physics class. I am not mathematical, and that class had more math than my later college physics and astronomy classes for non-science majors. Mr. Wolf was the COOL teacher, he had an earring and drove a little sports car, not your usual Dallas school teacher in the 70's. I honor his legacy and wish peace for all who loved him.

I am from the LHHS class of 1967. Mr Wolf, while tough and demanding, was also always fare with all his students. He never told us about his army past. That's not unlike his generation. My dad was in the South Pacific with the marines but expect for two photos of him during that time, you would never know it.

We are sorry for Mr Wolf's passing, but thankful for our time with him.

As youth we spend twelve or thirteen years navigating through the public school systems experiencing a bevy of teachers…some good…some not so good. But if we are fortunate, our path takes us in a direction to experience a man like Bryant Wolf. While Mr. Wolf was a teacher, our teacher in physics and calculus, he was so much more. If not a mentor he was a guiding beacon that helped students learn to ask how and why… not only of

Mr. Wolf was a great man and a great teacher. His standards were high but he helped students to reach those standards. He love LHHS as we all did. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Mr Wolf was one of the best teachers I had at Lake Highlands. I graduated in 1965 and received an engineering degree from Texas Tech because of his class.
