Monday, June 27, 2016Ann, through philanthropic gifts to Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Ohio State University, the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium and Franklin Park Conservatory — and also through the editorial page of The Dispatch, which his family ran from 1905 until 2015. He became its publisher in 1975.He and other members of the Wolfe family were longtime aviation proponents, helping lead the way for improvements in facilities and service at Port Columbus and Rickenbacker. The family also invested in the short-lived, low-cost airline Skybus in 2004 as a way to bring better air service to the region.He was devoted to a vibrant downtown, maintaining a business headquarters across from the Statehouse, and helping lead development of the Arena and Brewery districts with both editorial-page support and his own investments.“He told me that one of the things he was most proud of is the redevelopment of the riverfront,” Coleman said about Wolfe’s leadership in transforming the Scioto River into the city’s front yard. “He lived to see the greenway to successful completion, knowing that it was something his father (Preston Wolfe) always wanted to see happen.”Wolfe invested in both the construction of a hockey arena and the Blue Jackets hockey franchise as a way to bring professional sports to the city, and that investment by his companies and other business leaders resulted in the transformation of a forlorn old prison site into one of the most vibrant neighborhoods in the city. He also helped bring Major League Soccer to the city with Columbus Crew SC. He fought vigorously against placement of a casino downtown and in favor of a new ballpark for the Columbus Clippers."Columbus has lost a gentle giant," said Alex Fischer, president of the Columbus Partnership, a group of about 50 Columbus CEOs who work together on planning and projects to keep the city vibrant and growing. "In our city’s history, simply no one has done more to move our community forward. His commitment to his family, our city, his beloved Buckeyes and our community’s health-care providers is second to none."He often talked to me about the collaborative nature of the Columbus business, civic and political leadership as our greatest asset," Fischer said. "He held the highest standard, expectation and respect for community engagement at all levels. His commitment to Columbus will continue through our work and will serve to honor his memory every day."Wolfe was politically conservative and generally supported Republican causes and candidates, but he also supported Democrats — such as Coleman — who shared his vision for the best interests of the city and central Ohio.His pivotal role in the community was reflected each year in the long line of politicians, and business and community leaders who attended a holiday gathering at the former home of The Dispatch at 34 S. Third St.The Wolfe family sold the newspaper and magazine divisions to New Media Investment Group, parent of GateHouse Media, in June 2015. The newspaper’s newsroom has since relocated to 62 E. Broad St., which his family built in 1921 as home to the other newspaper they owned until 1959, The Ohio State Journal.In a farewell letter last year to Dispatch readers, Wolfe wrote, “For 110 years, it has been our family’s great privilege to own and operate a daily newspaper that grew to become central Ohio’s leading provider of news and information. When our family purchased The Dispatch in 1905, Columbus had four daily newspapers. The telegraph, telephone and electric light were recent technological innovations.”Born Aug. 7, 1943, to Preston and Jean Bostwick Wolfe, Wolfe graduat...
