William C. "Willie" Pollock passed away on Monday, January 25, 2010. Willie's death was extremely sudden, shocking and he never had any symptoms. He was only 28 years old (two weeks shy of his 29th birthday). He left behind his high school sweetheart and wife of only 18 months. A few weeks before his passing, his mom was diagnosed with Wolf Parkinson’s White, which put her in the hospital.

Willie was a resident of Marlton since 2005. He was born and raised in Jefferson City, MO.

He was the beloved husband of April L. (Dunn) Pollock; loving son of Carl A. Jr. and Patricia Jo Pollock; dear brother of Dr. Jennifer Schnieders and her husband, Jay, Zach Pollock and his wife, Dr. Ann Pollock and Patrick Pollock; dear uncle of Archer and Dawson Schnieders. He was the loving son-in-law of Anne Dunn and the late Frank Dunn; and brother-in-law of the late Stephen Dunn. Willie also is survived by his beloved dog, Molly.

Willie was employed by URS Corp. at Fort Dix, N.J.

He was a planner and enjoyed hunting with his brothers, uncles and cousins. Family was the most important part of the fabric of Willie's life, and he will always be remembered as a devoted husband to April.
