Willard G. Volz, 67, an award-winning news photographer in Washington for more than 45 years who retired from The Washington Times, died Wednesday night at Holy Cross Hospital in Silver Spring. He had cancer. The longtime Washington-area resident, born Nov 08, 1927, affectionately called "Willie"by his friends, had a knack for relaxing his subjects with his affable manner, his peers recalled. That talent elicited numerous awards from several photojournalism organizations.
