Sorry to hear about the passing of Scott Voss. He was a good friend and introduced me to the sport of turkey hunting. I will always cherish the time I got to spend with Scott in the outdoors. He will be missed.

We will always remember the good times. Fishing, hunting and just getting together with you and Karen. We had some really fun times. Special memories. You were a brother to Randy more than anybody could have been or should have been. Thanks for being our friend. Love you.

With our deepest sympathy we are very sorry to hear of your loss. We were friends and neighbors when you lived in Columbus and had many great times together in the neighborhood and at other events. Many laughs were shared and enjoyed so all our friend gatherings. All our love and prayers to Sierra, Kannon and Karen Voss whom we care about greatly. Our deepest sympathy to Scott's mother, siblings and extended family. Scott always kept us laughing and never without a smile.
