Russell Volz

Russell E. Volz, age 56, of Quakertown, Pennsylvania, passed away suddenly on April 7, 2020 at his residence in Quakertown, PA. Born and raised in Philadelphia, PA, he was a son of the late Henry and Eleanor (Lake) Volz. Russell was a beloved father to his children, Kerry Doherty, husband Kenneth, and Matthew Volz; a loving Pop-Pop to his granddaughters Kaleigh, Kendall and Klaire; a devoted brother to his siblings, Mary Servais, husband George, Steve Volz, wife Rose, Mark Volz, wife Joann, Debra McAnney, husband William and Lisa Volz; a loving uncle, cousin, nephew and friend to many. He is predeceased by his sister, Susan Brennan and nephew, Dean Jordan. Russell graduated from Mastbaum Highschool in 1981. Russell worked and retired from Origlio Beverage for 25 years and was affectionately called "The Beer Man". If he passed you on the road in his beer truck, he would often honk and wave. An avid and devout Philadelphia sports fan, it was nearly impossible to find Russell not wearing one of his countless Eagles, Phillies, or Flyers shirts. Russell had a personality that drew people in like a magnet and was never short on conversation, be it friend or stranger. He found joy in golfing with his brothers, hitting strikes in the bowling alley with his league friends and sitting back with a few cold ones praying for relief from a lack of major sports championships. There was never a dull moment at family BBQ's when Russell was around, often playfully teasing his nieces and nephews. Russell was quite the craftsman, often finding himself helping friends/family with any home improvement projects or repairs. Becoming a grandfather (Pop-Pop) to his daughter Kerry's three beautiful girls brought out the teddy bear in what many saw as a giant of a man. Russell found immense pride in helping to raise his grand-daughters and always had the time and energy to chase them around the house. Russell was a very proud military dad to Kerry (Air Force) and Matt (Navy) and was often wearing both services' memorabilia to prevent any favoritism. Memorial services will be announced at a later date. Please check back on this tribute to get further details.
