Hoby Wolf, longtime political columnist, community activist and stalwart of life in South Carroll, died unexpectedly on Monday, Feb. 15, 2010.

He was 85.

Word of Hoby’s passing spread quickly on Tuesday, circulated by the close-knit Carroll County community he cherished. He was considered by many as a pillar on the landscape of Carroll County.

He had served for many years as a columnist for The Eldersburg Eagle, The Northern News, The Westminster Eagle, The Carroll Eagle, The Carroll County Times and the Carroll Standard.

At the Eagle, he was an enduring symbol of the paper’s opinion page, which he shared with supporters, cordial rivals and even, on occasion, a few detractors. He welcomed them all, and above all enjoyed the mix of opinions and the freedom to express them.

To the Eagle staff, he was a constant source of energy, support, optimism and determination. He truly had an eagle’s spirit.

Hoby was known throughout the county, and was a member of numerous political clubs, including the South Carroll Business Association. He was also a member of St. Barnabas Episcopal Church, Sykesville. His interests were as broad as his circle of friends -- he was equality at home at a meeting of the South Carroll Business Association as he was with the Christian Farmers Association.
