those of us in the denver tv market lost a good friend today, whether we knew him or not

Gary Wolfe, a longtime 9NEWS photojournalist, died at his Fort Collins home Wednesday night. He was 56.

Gary worked in the 9NEWS Northern Information Center for 14 years. He spent a bulk of that time partnered with his brother, Roger Wolfe, who retired four years ago.

"I was pleased and proud to watch my little brother grow into a man of good character and good humor - integrity and talent - a gentle spirit with a kind heart," Roger said. "I was privileged to be his brother and grateful to be his friend."

After his brother's retirement in 2006, Gary took on a new partner, Adam Chodak. The two worked side by side for more than three years. Their reporting of the Windsor Tornado earned the duo a regional Emmy.

He sounds like a good guy. I love the phrase "a gentle spirit"--just the words alone are soothing.
