Dewolf graduated from the University of Michigan as a Phi Gamma Delta and went on for an MBA at UCLA as he pursued a career in aerospace engineering. He served in World War II receiving the Purple Heart and went on to construct the Blue Horizons Hotel in Grenada, West Indies. Predeceased by Norma Herber Stanley, he is survived by a daughter, Denise Stanley; his grandson Nicolas; and his sister Lorraine Berlin. He will be missed more than words can express.
