Tom,...

To Barry and family. I just heard of your fathers passing and wanted to convey how very sorry I am for your loss. I know Barry from church and he always had wonderful things to say about his father. I will be praying for you and your family during this difficult time.

My deepest sympathy to TW, Barry & Bryan on the passing of your Dad and to Helen on losing her life partner. "Uncle" Wes taught us how to win and lose with class and took a personal interset in every boy who was lucky enough to play for him. He and my dad were a great pair as coaches and even better friends. Few people have influenced my life like your Dad. We have lost a great one.

To Barry and the Voltz Family,
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your Father and our Coach! I will always remember his leadership and friendship while at Tuckahoe Little League, but I know that was just a small part of what made him so special. He will be missed!

Coach Voltz was more a mentor,friend and example to all than just a coach. He definitely had as much influence in my life as any other single person outside of my immediate family. Every time I see a baseball game and especially a well-pitched and coached game I think of him and all that he taught me about the game and about my self and my self-confidence. He was a great man that will be sorely missed.

To the Voltz Family
Thanks for the memories of a wonderful man. Barry, your Dad was a father figure to me when my father had left home. What an inspiration he was to so many during his life. He was one of the main reasons I spent 20 seasons coaching young men and boys at TLL.
Love and Blessings to All,

Dear Helen and you boys,I remember the first time I remember meeting him. He and Jimmy Armstrong came by my house to see my Father just a few days after they came back from overseas. He gane me a St. Christopher's medal the Pope had blessed when he was in Rome on his way back. From that day on he was a big part of my life in both personal and business.So many great memories he was a part of in my life as well as so many other young people whoes lives he touched. God bless all of you and to...
