Boyd Edgar Voelker completed his homeward bound earthly journey. He passed away on Sunday, May 26, 2019 after a difficult struggle with Lewy body dementia. He suffered several painful falls, the last one resulting in a broken back which he never fully recovered from. He was a very talented and creative man. He started out as an automotive mechanic in his younger years, then became a union carpenter, building industrial freezers and coolers for many years. His last job before retiring was as a pipe insulator at Hillshire Farms in New London, WI where he was employed for 15 years. In retirement he enjoyed two part-time jobs then returned to his artistic past completing many building projects along with stained glass, painting and his beautiful hand carved fish. Boyd is survived by his high school sweetheart and wife of 62 years Sandra, children Ross (Susan) Voelker of Mukwonago, WI, Dawn (Frank) Raspante of Brown Deer, WI and Cheryl Scholz of Random Lake, WI, grandson Jonathan Scholz of Port Washington, WI, granddaughter Alexandra (Kyle) Huettl of Grafton, WI, great grandson Maverick Huettl of Grafton, WI, brother Rodger Voelker of Palmer Lake, CO, brother-in-law Larry and sister-in-law Majel Gettelman of Muskego, WI.
