Today at 1 am, I lost a friend, a great steemian I met early on when I joined the steemit army. A father, proud American, Veteran and MY FRIEND.
STEEMIAN @WOLFHART
He was a warrior, an exceptional human, mister positive and great STEEM curator. Sunday morning Engagement Leaugue talk and a whole lot off other stuff we had an opinion on. You loved our welcoming terminal and had a #payitforward hart.
Although we were a milion miles apart, and in different timezones we talked every day. Had fun, ideas and talked steem.
Dear Wolf,
I knew the moment you were not there when you were supposed to be there, the end came. The battle was tough and unfair. You stood ground, untill 1 o’clock. You left instructions to contact me, and i am forever gratefull for that.
So my 4 o’clocky today , i know it was a favorite of you, Is a tribune to you and a BIG thank you, for being the first one that really made my steemjourney a personal one.
I have so many more words but tears won’t alow it.
Have a safe journey untill we meet again Some sunny day ......
AND MAY THE SEEDS TURN INTO STONG PLANTS
Every burden we bear presents a challenge to conquer, a light to be found. In my life I had laid my burdens on strong shoulders with the knowledge they would be conquered. Those shoulders were not my own, but my fathers. The light shown me, came through him. Two days ago, I was presented with a burden to bear, a challenge to conquer. My father passed away. I could not lay my burden upon his shoulders. I could not seek his light, or so I thought. Today I feel as though my burden is again lifted to his shoulders, his light shines once more. His Steem community, this community, has shown me his light through the amazing words and works presented from all of you. Dad was a positive man. He was a proud man. As I look upon these post I feel proud of him. Yet, if he were here standing next to me, he would simply say, “Do better than me.”
You have all helped a grieving family. You - who are hundreds or thousands of miles away have helped a grieving family deal with a devastating loss. Your impact is immeasurable.
I hope to get to know you all, and I will do my best to continue on in my father’s footsteps.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you all.
I'm glad that you checked in and have seen the impact your Father had on so many of us. Know that without being part of this community of people it's hard to understand the bonds that are formed, but they are strong. Your Dad had a big heart and was always willing to lend a hand. He will be missed.
Please accept our condolences from the entire eSteem team. Your father was one of most active and loyal user and we will miss him!
@esteemapp thank you for the Nice comment its appreciated by me immensly
Dear Robert,
Welcome to you here on the steemisfere. We are PROUD that you are in your fathers footsteps and Will help you start the new chapter !
You Will love it here ....
Dear Robert, My sincere condolences. We will miss your dad so very much and you have no idea how delighted I would be to see you keeping his account going. I am here to help you find your way around Steem anytime you have a question.
Hugs to your mom from me.
Farewell on your new journey, brother...My heart goes out to all the loved ones who will be missing you.
I'm heartbroken @brittandjosie! He was such a wonderful man... things won't be the same here without him.
Not sure if you know, but we rescued a kitten when he was first diagnosed with cancer...she shouldn't have been alive, a real fighter...so we named her Wolfhart, Wolfie for short. Our friend @wolfhart loved the idea of "him" snuggling up with Brian and I every night, but he especially loved that the wee kitty loved and snuggled me more lol Exactly where @wolfhart said he'd prefer😊
A one of a kind man and I will miss him dearly ❤️
I knew the wolfje story, he told me and he always talked about Brian and about you. I Will miss all the endless talks and the fatherly advice. I am devistated and proud at the same time.
I hope his legacy Will be a comfort for the non-steeming wolf family and i Wish you strenght and love.
Blog to you soon.
We talked a lot, and I was always amazed that he was more concerned for me and Brian than it seemed he was for himself! Such a great guy <3
How are you guys doing, @lynncoyle1? It's been a while again :0)
That's our story hey? "it's been a while" lol
We're are doing well actually; still enjoying life and each other. Could always be worse I think! What about you and yours?
Glad to hear that 👍
Nothing much changed here during the last year. Except for my mindset, maybe - I almost see just as many positives as negatives these days, instead of only the negatives, lol 😉
I never knew from your engagement here dear ! @simplymike
I've been out all winter - No engagement, because I couldn't handle it.
I did publish a couple of posts about it last year, but I limited those because while writing them, I felt guilty. because compared to others, like Brian and wolfhart, I thought I didn't have the right to whine. The few times I did, guess who was the first one to tell me to not feel guilty about it... @wolfhart, of course 😉
And, I'm pretty good at keeping up appearances. 😂
I was taught not to bother others with my personal issues. It's because of this place that I opened up a little more, both here and in real life
Your personal issues would never be a bother to me buddy!! Glad to see you're seeing the glass half full and half empty ... nothing wrong with a little reality :)
I remember that story....
Although me and @wolfhart weren't very close, we talked every once in a while. Mostly, it was him cheering up me... :0(
I will surely miss him :'0(
Cheering up was his favorite thing to do
These are very sad news. I has rooting for him all the way. I hoped that he could keep fighting it, he surely had a fighter's spirit. 😖
I know he loved the pifc crew and you were a great addition to that family that Made him proud, he Will be missed in the paying forward house, offcourse we Will make sure that great work Will stay on the block
A huge loss :’( I wish everyone who knew and cared for him strength. Carpe Diem

Hi dear indeed CARPE DIEM most of us take life for granted
So sad to hear/read. I am glad someone reached out and let you know, that you reached out and let us know. I will miss him, he was upbeat, and had kind words for all, he will be missed.
Always a kind word in his position fighting his life fight, i make a bow and take of my hat.
And he prepared to let the community know, i was honored to be picked and to be called His friend
My heart breaks and I will miss him very much. Thank you for letting me know. You were a great friend to him and made his last days so much happier with the arrival of the goody box you sent. I hope all the seeds he planted grow into healthy plants and bring a bit of a smile to his family.
I had hoped he had the time to make it into a baby tree tuesday or a simplymike garden blog.
We laughed and the fact he ate the chocolate after treatment , Made me smile, ohhh welll dear i ( we ) have so much in 1,5 year to look back on, i hope robert Will take the account and fly to whaledome with it. But he might need us.
Talk soon
You know you can count on me! Feel free to let him know that I am always here to help.
That was the answer i was hoping for. I Will contact him and share the message thanks i love the fact you are with me on this one
100% I will do all I can.
Well iT looks like you have too good news
Sorry for the lost. ❤

And thankyou for all you did insurance house while i was to sad to do anything.
My condolences. :( <3
Thank you so much, we blog to little, hope you are fine. Blog soon
Oh... damn! I barely knew @wolfhart, but the small glance into his life he gave me through those few tagged and untagged googly posts, the show of strength in his soul and the positive spirit which he brought along in these blunt and honest yet heartfelt accounts of the daily struggles... I was honestly deeply impressed with what little I got to know about him.
I found myself checking his profile several times throughout this week, looking whether he had made another comment, whether he was still holding up... It's strange, I've never really talked to him, but I still feel like he had an impact on me.
I'm actually close to tears.
@wolfhart, you won't be forgotten!
Dear @fraenk, thats so great that you wrote that cause the impact he made on people with this curation , funny comments and his strong opinions, i Will miss the most, and he won the last googly contest thats special too, i dont know if he saw, i hope cause i know he would say, i forgot the googly tag and i threw eyes in my food and i won hahahhaahah he loved it
I appreciate your message , And i am in tears too
yeah... I like to think winning the googly show gave him a good smile during his last days with us.
I’m very sorry to read this post and although I had not much contact with him I was aware of his fight... and I know perfectly how it feels when you loose some of your beloved ones.
I can only say that this is not the end, this life as we know it is only a spark in the infinite of our existence, I’m pretty sure and confident about this.
Sending you a warm hug @brittandjosie
Pd: we all one day will meet @wolfhart in an infinite discord session and we’ll laugh together

Hi @direwolfslair he was everywhere, always looking to help and teach and an power up mad man. He is a dolphin now, a proud one.
Very sorry to hear. The end of the circle of life is always hard, particularly when it is shorter than it should be.
Yes i would have wanted him to have a much bigger circle, and i would have loved more time to learn and to have just fun conversations
May his soul rest in peace...
And be painfree, that is my wish for him too
Oh @brittandjosie, I'm so sorry for you. He was one of my favorite people with a heart of gold.

Dear Renata i knew when he didnt meet me on sunday, i never knew friendships on line could be so special. Bit it was and i know you had the same in PIF house, so we just have to move on and be as good as he is and was.
Sorry for your loss. And thanks for letting us know. He will be missed.
Informing is needed , cause the community was important to him
so sorry for your loss.. @wesphilbin let me know about your post through #steemusa ... I wish I had known him. My brother is battling with cancer at this time.
Hi Rebeccabe, you are in the middle of the battle from yourbrothers, its unfair, brutal and i wish we could find a cure, i wish you strenght and want to thank you for the comment here.
So sorry for your Loss my thoughts are with all of his family and friends
Thank you Jay thats highly appreciated and i Will send the message to the family.
Most welcome, Having Lost friends and family over the years I know how tough and sad it is
It's so painful to lose a great hero in the community, his demise will sure leave a heart filled with pain for a while. My short experience with him was such a memorable one and which stands a greater chance of missing him so much. Rest in peace @wolfhart

So sorry for your loss sweetie. There are no words that can comfort such a pain. But I hope that you will find eventual peace knowing that he is no longer in pain. Much love and strength to you and may @wolfhart rest in peace xxx
