John Calvin Wolf was born on the family ranch north of Hulett, Wyoming on December 12, 1927 to Anselm and Elsie (Leeson) Wolf. Except for his last two months, he resided there his entire life.

In 1960, he married Nadine Sward in Bridgeport, Nebraska. They lived on the ranch on what is called the Moore Place on New Haven Road. Jennifer was born in 1962 and Tom in 1965 while living there. In 1971, John and Nadine built a house close to his mother's home off Highway 112. He treasured his children and grandchildren, and he taught them about the ranching way of life.
John was a lifelong rancher and knew each cow and her calf, and he loved his horses. He enjoyed many years of guiding hunters and watching wildlife on the ranch. For several years he was a member of the Half Fast Roping club, as well as the Hulett Lions Club. He served on the Hulett CO-OP, Farm Home Administration, and the Devils Tower Historical Society boards. Besides ranching, he drove a school bus from 1965-2000.
