WILLIAM BOLLINGER Obituary

William "Morris" Bollinger, 75, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family December 1, 2020. He retired from Virginia Power in 2001 and continued to work at Deer Run Golf Course until 2017. If he wasn't working, he was playing golf or hitting balls on the driving range. Morris also loved to hunt, dance, eat breakfast with his friends at Vancosta's Restaurant and spend time with his family. He never met a stranger and had a heart of gold. All who knew him, adored and loved him and realized that he was one of a kind. He always had a story to tell and a joke for every occasion.

Morris was preceded in death by his parents, Albert and Malzie Bollinger and his brother, Glenn Bollinger. He is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Paula; his devoted daughter, Amy Andresen; the son he never had, James Andresen; and his favorite person and granddaughter, Heather Andresen and his loving nieces and nephews. The family would like to extend a special "Thank You" to Barbara Matthews and Riverside Hospice for the loving care they extended to Morris.

Please join us for a Covid friendly, stay in your car, drive through tribute to Morris from 2:00-4:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 6, 2020 on the front porch of Weymouth Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer's Association.

I have just come across Morris' obituary. Morris and were great buddies back in the mid 1950s on Piez Ave. in Hilton. The description of Morris in his obituary is exactly as I remember him when we were kids. A big personality full of humor and kindness. These admirable qualities must have come from his mother. I remember Malzie as a real hoot! She and Albert drove my mother and me along with Morris to Florida around 1956-57. They were a fine family to know. My condolences to his surviving family.

I have just come upon Morris' obituary. Morris and I were neighbors and good buddies on Piez Ave. in Hilton in the mid 1950s. We were very close pals through grammar school at Hilton Elementary. The description of Morris in his obituary is exactly as I remember him when we were kids. A big personality full of humor and kindness. Those admirable qualities certainly came from his mother. I remember Malzie as a real hoot! She and Albert drove my mother and I along with Morris to Miami around 1956-57. They were a fine family to know. My condolences to his surviving family.

I was a classmate of Morris at Warwick High School. I remember his wonderful smile and cheerful personality. There were only a few times I saw him at the WHS dinners, but his warm greeting was always there. Please accept my sincere condolences. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
