I did not know my cousin Larry very well. We are so far apart in age and lived separate lives. I do remember my Dad (Larry's uncle Vince), telling stories about Larry growing up. Dad was very fond of Larry. Peace to the Volz family.

Larry was married to my cousin Anne when I was 11 years old. Even then I was wowed by his niceness and charm. He was a true patriot and good family man who loved his wife and children and grandchildren! Rest in peace Larry and know your memory will be with us always. Sending our love and deepest sympathy to Anne and all of the family. Love, Judy and Ed Ermilio

Although not a blood relative, my Uncle Larry was a hero to me and my sisters in the truest sense of the word.
He was always there to help and provide comfort when we needed it, and stood in for our own dad when 3,000 miles separated us. We were blessed to visit him this summer and mourn the loss with the entire Volz family.
