Anthony Edwin Wolf died peacefully on June 1. 2022, at his home in Connecticut, after suffering from Parkinson's Disease for several years. Born in Philadelphia to Edwin Wolf II and Margaret (Dannenbaum) Wolf in September 1940, Tony leaves behind his wife of 55 years, Mary Alice (Chieppo) and his children Nicholas of Connecticut and Margaret, of New York, his sisters Ellen Schrecker and Mary Hurtig, and countless friends and grateful former patients. A graduate of Columbia University, Wolf earned a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at the City University of New York. He spent more than thirty years in private practice working with children and their families in the Springfield, Massachusetts area. He also wrote several wise and funny books that helped parents cope with their troubled – and not so troubled – offspring. His best-selling work, Get Out of My Life, But First Could You Drive Me and Cheryl to the Mall?: A Parent's Guide to the New Teenager went through several editions and more than 20 printings after its initial publication in 1991. Through more than half a dozen other books, TV appearances, columns, and articles in parenting magazines and elsewhere, Wolf explained to frazzled parents that their children's sometimes awful behavior was perfectly normal – and, most important – would eventually end. His warmth, humor, and keen intelligence will be sorely missed. His family will receive friends on Saturday, June 11, 2022 from 11:30 AM – 1:30 PM at Nicholson & Carmon Funeral Home, 443 East St. N. (Rt. 159), Suffield. To leave on-line condolences please visit www.carmonfuneralhome.com (http://www.carmonfuneralhome.com).
