Not sure what to say?

Aww Mr Voss I'm so sorry you are gone from this earth where you made such a difference in so many young lives. I remember you fondly. Thank you for the love you shared and the lives you moulded.

Mr. Voss was quite simply a name you easy have in your mind. Always remember when he laughed. His classes were so great for learning.

Mr. Voss was among (maybe scratch among) the most unforgettable of my Gordon Russell social studies teachers. He was so passionate. All he wanted to see was a sparkle of interest...

Big HUGS to the Voss family! Rest in peace Mr Voss. You taught all three of my kids(Joe,Tanya and Tina) and they said you were the coolest. You were a great teacher. The world has lost a great teacher(sub teacher). RIP!

Miss you more than words can convey. you danced to your own beat and inspired others to follow their dreams. you will forever have a place in my heart Mr. Voss, and ill get you that milkshake someday soon.

Mr Voss was an amazing teacher at Gordon Russell. Always encouraging us to be the best possible " you". He was my favorite teacher by far. Rip

When you were made they broke the mold. You were an inspiration to every student you ever had, and an inspiration to every teacher who truly knew you. You are missed, my friend.

Your were a great teacher and always knew how to make people laugh. May you rest in peace big friendly giant ...heaven just gained an angle. Richard Voss R.I.P

Mr. Voss, I so wish I'd had the opportunity to speak to you one last time. You'll never know just how much you inspired me to live the life I dreamed of. You were the first person in my life to challenge me to look at things in a global context. I will never forget how you told me that we should never say we are from "America" because there are two Americas - North and South! I spent nearly seven years living abroad and not once did I say I was from America, thanks to you. You taught us to be...
