Wilfred Birtz Obituary
He is survived by his wife of 46 years, Royanne Birtz; his sister, Dawne Ann Birtz of Worcester, MA; daughter, Lisa Poutre (Darryl) of Orange Park, FL; sons, James Birtz (Jennifer) of Acworth, GA and Jeffery Birtz (Daniella) of Orange Park, FL; grandchildren, Katelyn, Jessica, Michael, Meghan, Julia and Jenna.
Bill was born in Worcester, MA on October 22, 1943. He was a pilot most of his life and had an unbelievable passion for flying. He was chief pilot for Charter Oil Company in Jacksonville, Florida for many years. He had so many wonderful memories of his days at Charter and his Charter Oil family. He then went on to Evergreen Airlines to finish his flying career. He was a member of St. Luke's Catholic Church in Middleburg, FL. Bill did everything in life with passion and gusto, whether it be playing pool on Tuesday nights with his pool league buddies or talking your ear off about politics. Bill will be dearly missed by all his loved ones, especially his grandchildren who were his pride and joy. A memorial Mass was held on November 4, 2010 at St. Luke's Catholic Church in Florida.

Bill (Willie to some of us) was my best friend while growing up. Have many fond memories: deer hunting in New Hampshire; scuba diving/spear fishing on Cape Cod; cruising around in his Healy and GTO; and yes, shooting pool. I'm deeply saddened about his passing. My condolences to his loved ones.
