William Volz Obituary
William (Bill) T. Volz, of Camarillo, passed away peacefully on Sept. 13 after a long fight with Parkinson's disease.
He was a wonderful man and will be missed by his wife and love of his life Alice, his family and friends. Bill was born on Dec. 23, 1925 in New York, N.Y. He was proud to serve his country in the United States Marine Corps in World War II. He and Alice were married for 61 years. They met on the Fourth of July on the beach in New York where they dated on the Harley Davidson he bought after being discharged from the Marines. He was a motorcycle cop in the Bronx, N.Y., and an Iron Worker.
Bill wanted a better life for his family and moved them from the city to San Diego, a place he fell in love with when he was stationed at Camp Pendleton. He worked for the Operating Engineers while going to school for real estate with his wife.
Bill is survived by his wife, Alice; daughter, Linda Erickson and husband Ken; son, Bill Volz and wife Robin; daughters, Sue Haigler and Lori Cook; grandchildren, Tiffany, Travis, Annie and Lauren; great-grandchildren, Giovanni, Jonathan and Hayley. He was preceded in death by his parents, William and Mary Volz; brother, Robert Volz; and granddaughter, Tammy Haigler.
Arrangements will be made at a later date for a Military burial by the family owned Perez Family Funeral Home in Camarillo. Please sign the guest book at www.camarillomortuary.com.
