John A. Volle

John A. Volle, 79, of Springfield, passed away peacefully on Sunday, December 22, 2024. He was born on March 5, 1945, in St. Louis, MO, the son of George and Viola (Bohlmann) Volle and they preceded him in death. He married Teresa Randazzo on September 12, 2009, and she survives.

Also surviving are three sons, Greg Volle of Cumming, GA, Clayton (Emily) Volle of Springfield, and Darren (Meredith) Volle of Springfield; four grandchildren, Quinn, Evangeline, Mae, and Isabella; former wife, Carol Volle of Springfield; sister, Donna Roettger of St. Louis, MO; two nieces; and one nephew.

His travels took him to Italy and Costa Rica, where he ziplined through the jungle with Teresa, and to Mexico, where he reveled in the beauty of the ocean. As a passionate sailor, he was a lifelong fan of the America's Cup.

A proud Sigma Chi alumnus from the University of Tulsa, John later earned his master’s degree in real estate from SMU. His professional journey began in 1978, when he moved to Springfield to assist his father with the family business, Volle Electric. He went on to hold various leadership positions at financial institutions in Springfield, including serving as head of the trust department at INB. John later relocated to Tulsa, OK, where he enjoyed a fulfilling career in commercial real estate, ultimately retiring from First Commercial Real Estate in 2016. He returned to Springfield, where he spent his final years, leaving behind a legacy of professionalism, kindness, and adventure.
