MAY 1, 1942 – JUNE 3, 2020

From Mark Townsend:

It is with heartfelt sympathy and sadness to announce our beloved Coach Roy Vollinger has passed away.  What an amazing and proud person Coach Roy was.  I feel blessed and privileged to have been known Roy, who became a father figure to me.  He had remarkable life and nobody could tell a funny story like Coach Roy.  We all know Roy as an iconic football person, especially as a coach, organizer and builder.  In 2012, Coach Roy was honoured with the Pioneer Award at the Orange Helmet Awards hosted by the BC Lions.  He was a true character and so very generous.  Coach Roy, you will be deeply, deeply missed my friend.

Thank you to Michelle Hallschmid and Llynda Vollinger for giving me the opportunity to share some stories and love with Roy at the Jubilee Hospital yesterday.  I will forever remember the “thumbs up” Coach Roy gave me just before I left.    

Let us please send healing prayers, love and comforting hugs to his wife Llynda.

Thoughts from Tom Kudaba

I first met Steve in 1972 at Simon Fraser as a rookie. We were all in the same boat and few of us at that time felt that our class would be arguably the bumper crop of players to wear the SFU colours. Included in this group were players like Lui Passaglia, Glen Jackson, Randy Graham, Greg Warkentin, Emil Nielsen, and myself. Of course as rookies we were under the watchful eye of Lorne Davies (continued)

Bernie's passion was football. He started playing in grade 8 at STMC and continued on at SFU. After Bernie graduated, he joined the STMC staff where he was a teacher, academic councilor and football coach for the past 17 years. Bernie cared about all his students and brought a dedication, commitment, determination and humor to all aspects of his life.
