Peter William Volk

I worked with Pete at Linn County for 25 years. But he was much more than just a coworker, he was a good friend. We had many adventures together outside of work. Concerts, The Jones County Fair, Iowa football games, summer cook outs, employee holiday parties. All of which were memorable. And it wasn't just about the good times. We helped each other on a lot of projects outside of work, and leaned on each other through some of the rough times. I was heartbroken when I got the call. My deepest...

Will surely be missed. Rest easy

I was so sad to hear of Pete’s passing. He was a great addition to our staff at Linn county. He was a hard worker and always very respectful, polite and smiling. We bonded over our Cosgrove connections and he was someone I knew I could count on. My deepest sympathy to his family.

I remember Pete from his time working at the courthouse in Jones County. He was a genuinely cheerful person, always bringing a smile to my face, even with his lighthearted antics.

He always brought a funny story about my dad and him growing up whenever I saw him and never missed wishing me happy birthday. He was a great family friend and he’ll be missed so much.

Thanks Pete for making my senior year of high school such a great experience. Love and prayers for your family.

I have so many fun family memories with Pete and could go on forever about how he loved to have fun, loved to grill and loved to cook for family get togethers.

I’ll never forget the time Pete & I were driving back from the Great Jones County Fair and he stood up through the sunroof of my car singing Lynard Skynard-Gimmie Three Steps at the top of his lungs and pounding on the...

My deepest sympathy to the Volk family at this difficult time. I remember Pete always smiling in high school and every time I saw him after. Rest Easy Pete and give the other classmates a hug from all of us!
Thoughts and prayers to all who knew and will miss him!
