Gray Wolf, a longtime member of the 6th and B Garden, died Sun., Feb. 24. He was both the garden’s grill master and its Web master.
According to Lorcan Otway, proprietor of St. Mark’s Theater 80, Gray Wolf was “an enrolled member of the Cherokee Nation.” “I knew him for decades and he was always 17 going on 70,” Otway wrote in a commemoration on Facebook. “He was a great storyteller, prankster and kind man.”
Anna Sawaryn, a fellow 6th and B gardener, said Gray Wolf was an active member of the American Indian Movement, or AIM, and had been a paratrooper and truck driver. “He was an active member of the garden,” Sawaryn said. “He was into growing extremely hot peppers.”
A memorial is planned in the garden for early June.
