James Herman "J.H." Wolfe

James Herman “Herman” (J.H.) Wolfe, 86, went home to be with the Lord on September 17, 2016, after a long and meaningful life.
Herman was born on January 31, 1930, to Homer Alexander and Della Emmaline “Gaston” Wolfe at their home in Boyd, TX. Growing up he had 1 sister, 5 half-sisters and 1 half-brother. He married the love of his life, Nina Vernice Thackerson, on November 5, 1949 in Ft. Worth, TX. They eventually settled in Newark and had 4 strong boys, James Anthony “Tony” Wolfe, Wesley Kelvin Wolfe, Troy Glen Wolfe and Roger Gene Wolfe, and many others whom they treated as their own. And from this love grew 10 grandchildren, 18 great grandchildren, and several folks who adopted Herman and Nina as their parental figures, mentors, grandparents and role models, and all of whom are special to them.
Herman was a member of the Friendship Baptist Church of Boyd, TX. He was also a retired Ft. Worth Police Officer where he served for 30 years, 13 of which were on vice squad and was officer of the year 2nd Platoon in 1981. During this time he also worked 25 years as a part time security guard for Central Freight Lines. Retirement proved too slow for Herman so he then served 4 years as a Bailiff for the City of Ft.
