William Henry "Bill" Voelker Jr.

Bill was a great guy and wise counselor to me. He gave me rides to work in 1965 until Leo McClean sold me his 1960 Rambler American. Later, I helped Bill move from Algiers to the East Bank, and he treated me to Shakeys Pizza. One night in the Press Club he said I should marry a nice Catholic girl. Mission accomplished 52 years ago, Bill. Thanks.

Mr. Bill was a great family friend and was always in the mood for good conversation and lending a helping hand. There are too many good memories to say, but a special one that showed whats I remember most about Mr. Bill is when my silver Taurus, Cleo had stalled in the middle of the street outside our driveways on a busy Saturday With the car essentially frozen in place I had no idea what to do and Mr Bill taking good care of his yard saw my predicament and ran over to help. Together we...

Mr. Bill was always there to cheer me on growing up, whether it be when I was learning how to ride a bike, or doing cartwheels in the front yard. I will always remember how sweet he was.

Uncle Bill was a very loving caring person who made you feel very special when you were around him. He will surely be missed in our family.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
