The Vikings organization is saddened to announce the passing of Joseph Wilf, father of Vikings Owner/Chairman Zygi Wilf and Owner/President Mark Wilf.
Joseph Wilf was 91. Born in Poland in 1925, Joseph Wilf survived the Holocaust and married another survivor, Suzie, in 1949. The family immigrated to the United States a year later and fulfilled the promise of America through innovation and hard work.
Joseph Wilf founded Garden Homes in New Jersey with his brother, Harry, and the family built the business into a prominent real estate company. Philanthropic efforts increased as the business grew, and Joseph and Harry established the Wilf Family Foundation in 1964.
