OBITUARY

Chester J. Wulff, former business teacher and golf coach at Newport

Harbor High School, passed away Monday in Coos Bay, Ore. He was 81.

Born to Fred and Lillian Wulff on Sept. 4, 1919, in Villa Park, Ill., Mr.

Wulff attended Wheaton College on a football scholarship. After attending

the U.S. Naval Academy, he became a lieutenant and fought in the Pacific

during World War II.

On May 1, 1948, Mr. Wulff married Josephine Hatten. They were blessed

with two daughters.

Mr. Wulff received his teaching credential at San Jose State University.

He taught business and started the work experience program at Newport

Harbor High. He also coached “B” football and the golf team there for

many years.

Retiring in 1986, Mr. Wulff later moved to Myrtle Point, Ore., to be

close to his family and to enjoy watching his grandson participate in

sports. He was an avid golfer and spent many hours on the local courses

with his golf buddies. He was a member of the Coquille Valley Elks and

the Baptist Church. But his greatest joy came from being with his family.

Mr. Wulff’s Christian spirit and sense of humor will not be forgotten by

those who had the good fortune to know him.

He is survived by his wife of 51 years, Josephine; daughter Kathleen of

Coos Bay, Ore.; daughter and son-in-law Terri and Frank Akers of Myrtle

Point, Ore.; grandson Forrest Akers, of Myrtle Point, Ore.; brothers

Gifford Wulff of Illinois and Raymond Wulff of Costa Mesa; and many

nieces, nephews and friends.
