Volz, Raymond P.

Ontario, NY - Entered into rest peacefully at home with his loving wife Rachel by his side on June 25, 2026, at the age of 83. Born in Philadelphia, PA, Ray graduated from Frankfort High School in 1961. After high school, he then joined the workforce in the printing ink business as a salesman. Ray was formerly employed at Richardson Ink Company, Croda Ink, and DePaco Inc.

In younger days, Ray was an avid soccer and baseball player, which led him to coaching boys' soccer through the Juniata Boys and Girls Club for several years and playing in a men's baseball league called Loma in Philadelphia. Ray's favorite place in life was spent at his former vacation home in Cape May, NJ, where he enjoyed fishing in the Delaware Bay and cooking seafood for friends. He never missed watching the Philadelphia Eagles and Phillies games and attending live music concerts when possible. During the past 17 years of retirement in Wayne County, Ray and Rachel attended granddaughter Kate and nephews Braydn and Parker's baseball and soccer games at Sodus Central School.

His hobbies included playing the trumpet with lifelong friend John Seiner at the keyboard and also enjoyed tinkering with his train collection. Ray proudly served our country in the United States Army with special friend Chet Zack.
