Dear Bob, Debbie and family
Just a note of thanks for raising such a nice Dad. He was a friend and co-worker and all-around great guy. He always had a smile and a story for me as I would sometimes get to work with him. I’ll always remember those beautiful white coveralls and shiny black shoes. Such a handsome man !!! His inner glow was always apparent because of the love of his wonderful family at home. Eddie will always be in our hearts and memories. MR. and family.
Bobby, I am so sorry to hear, I loved talking to your Dad at the Baeball games… what a great person, if there is any thing we can do for you and your family just ask, that’s what we are here for, your in our prayers, and God bless.
Roger My thoughts and prayers for you and your family your father is in Gods hands now may he rest in peace,
I will always remember Mr. Volk and was very saddened when I heard. In my mind I can still see him working in the yard or tending to Luke from our front window. Your parents were such good neighbours. I feel very blessed to have known them, and send all my love to the family.
I was very sadden to hear of Ed’s passing, It was truly a blessing to have known him and Mary.I couldn’t of asked for better neighbors. May he rest in peace .May God be with the Volk family in there loss of this kind and gentle man.
