Bill Voge loved family life. He was married to his wonderful wife, June (Lutes) Voge for 42 years and had four children with June: Andrew Voge, Michael Voge, Martha (Voge) Collins, and Lucy Voge. Bill was active in his children and grandchildren’s lives. He loved sports and coached his boys in Little League for many years. As Grandpa, Bill will be fondly remembered reading "Three Billy Goats Gruff," in addition to teaching English, math, science, and -most importantly- right from wrong. Bill Voge loved sports, camping, talking about the “old days,” watching old movies, listening to old county music, and always had his beloved dogs and cats around him. After June Voge's untimely death, Bill Voge married again to another loving woman, Patricia (Mooneyham) Voge, and enjoyed 6 years together with her before Patricia passed away.
Bill Voge also enjoyed working for Los Angeles County where he had a long career as a licensed land surveyor, retiring at the level of a Department Head for Surveying and Mapping. He thought highly of the people he worked with and continued to see his fellow working buddies long after retirement.

Bill Voge was an active member in the Catholic faith. He served as a lector at St. Elizabeth Mission for many years, and was a member of St. Serra Parish. Bill will be laid to rest with his first wife, June Voge, at Good Shepherd Cemetery, Lancaster, California.
