Obituary of Stephen J. Vollmer

Stephen J. Vollmer, 70, passed away peacefully early Thursday morning on October 8, 2015 with his family at his side. He was born in Syracuse, NY and was a lifetime resident. Steve was an attorney in Syracuse for over 40 years and worked in labor relations. His favorite job however, was being Bellevue Country Clubs most renowned and sought after caddy. His accomplishments were many but most importantly he was a man of integrity with very little ego but phenomenal ego strength. He understood the fragility of human nature and knew how to fall down, get up, dust off and move forward. He is survived by his wife of 40 years, Mary, son Charlie, five siblings, Tom, Maryellen Wilson, Kay Fitch, Patricia (William) Wilson, Jean (Gary) Petrick and many nieces and nephews. Services will be held on Tuesday, October 13, 2015 at 10:30am at Most Holy Rosary Church, 111 Roberts Ave., Syracuse, NY 13207. Calling hours will be Monday from 4 to 7pm at the Church.
