He was educated at Brighton College and thereafter became a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants. In this capacity he ran his Mother's family business of Thomas Wolfe Garage (1907) Ltd, based in Woburn Square in Bloomsbury. This was compulsorily purchased by London University after my Grandfather's death and now forms part of the site of the School of Oriental and African Studies. He married my Grandmother, Phyllis Mary Young in 1926 whereupon they moved to Leatherhead in Surrey and subsequently to a house called Highdown in Banstead, Surrey where they raised three children, including my late Mother. They lived there throughout the war years during which my Grandfather, being in a reserved occupation, acted as a fire watchman in the City of London. They moved to a bungalow that they designed and had built in the grounds of Highdown in 1964. He died of pancreatic cancer in 1967 and was survived by my Grandmother who died in 2011 at the age of 107. She left me my Grandfather's butterfly and moth collection which had, since the mid 1970's been on permanent loan to the Field Studies Council Centre at Juniper Hall at Boxhill in Surrey. My Sister and I remember our Grandfather with great affection. He was kind, warm hearted, generous and very funny; even given to the occasional practical joke. Larger than life he was a bon viveur, socialite, traveller and enthusiastic ballroom dancer as well as a keen collector not only of lepidoptera but of all things associated with natural history. "Bug hunting" led to many expeditions into the countryside, principally in the home counties but also further afield and, of course, many specimens were collected in the grounds of Highdown itself.
