Prescott, Arizona. Robert E. Volk, 75, passed away at his home on December 16, 2015, after a brave struggle with lung cancer. His wife of 56 years, Diane (Baltes) Volk was by his side.

Born in Plain, WI, Bob spent his childhood years in Ashton, before graduating from Middleton High School in 1959. He married his high school sweetheart, Diane Baltes, and they moved to Cross Plains in 1969. There he was involved in the city parks board for a number of years and coached the local home talent baseball team. He worked at Oscar Mayer for 35 years as a forklift mechanic. He and Diane relocated to Prescott in 2000, where he spent his time exploring the mountains, panning for gold, and enjoying his dogs and friends.

He is preceded in death by his parents, James and Dorothy (Miller) Volk, and a brother James. He is survived by his sister, Luanne Meinholz (Oregon, WI); sons Bob (Connie), Mike, Dan (Teri) and Brian (Janell); 8 loving grandchildren, Ben, Nate, Samantha, Kelsey, Quentin, Hattie, Marek, and Argus; and many nieces and nephews.

A celebration of Bob's life is planned for the spring, 2016, in Middleton, WI, with details about the event to follow. Condolences may be sent to Diane Volk: 14225 N. Adobe Trail, Prescott, AZ 86305
