Robert L. Voss

Robert L. Voss, 81, of Sullivan, Missouri, passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by his loving family on Thursday, April 4, 2024. 

Robert Leo Voss was born January 9, 1943, to Elmer and Francis (Fortner) Voss in rural Franklin County. He grew up in Strain Japan and attended gradeschool at the Holy Martyrs Catholic School, later graduating early at age 16 from Sullivan High School. 

Shortly after high school, Robert went to work at Wagner Electric in Saint Louis. Later he was united in marriage to Linda Collins on March 19, 1966. Together they were blessed with a son, Robbie. They continued living in the Japan area while Robert embarked on a successful 26+ year career with Chrysler, retiring in 1993.

Robert lived for the simple pleasures in life. Gardening, cutting wood, raising cattle and squirrel hunting were just a few things he enjoyed, especially in his retirement. He also loved to have company over and share a few Natural Lights with his closest buddies. Robert will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered. 

Robert’s family would like to thank Mercy Hospice and especially Amy Voss for her tender care and compassion during Robert’s final days.
