Joseph Volaric Obituary

On Saturday, May 28, 2022, Joseph N. "Joe" Volaric, 72, of South Park, moved on to his next adventure, where he is home safe.

He was the beloved son of the late Thomas and Grace Schessler Volaric; loving partner of Mary Lynn Thompson; father of Annie Volaric, Jessie Volaric and Holly (Rob) Kwiatkowski; grandfather of Joey, Cassius, Megan and Ben; brother of Bernita Clover and the late Thomas (survived by Cindy) Volaric.

Joe was the archetypal outdoorsman. He loved hunting, fishing and spending time riding his Harley through nature. He will be lovingly remembered as the "Greatest Dad in the Universe, who ever lived and who ever will."

Friends will be received from noon to 6 p.m., the time of a funeral service, Saturday, June 4, in the Griffith Funeral Home, Inc., 5636 Brownsville Road (at 6th Street), South Park Township, 412-655-4600.

If desired, the family requests that donations, in Joe's name, be made to AHN Healthcare at Home Hospice, 500 Commonwealth Drive, 1st Floor, Warrendale, PA 15086.

Condolences may be offered for the family at www.GriffithFH.com.

Many great memories hunting with Joe. Always a good time but more importantly Joe made firearm safety for everyone his priority. One particularly good memory was our 2009 visit to Hornady in Nebraska for a Prairie Dog hunt.
