Dear CottonLand Cruisers,


some of you will remember my father and me (Reinhold und Markus Voss) as the german visitors of the SCC 2010.
My father and I travelled from Germany to the USA to buy some special parts for our BJ42, which we own since 1981, and to visit the SCC.


We really enjoyed these days at the Superlift ORV Park together with you guys, the warm welcome, the great hospitality and the very friendly way you hosted us in your Land Cruiser Family. We felt home from the very first moment.


These days are unforgettable for us. My father liked to remember these days and to talk about...and whished to visit the SCC again.


For this years SCC I already collected information about flights, motorhome rentals... but he said he has no good feeling and wants to do the trip next year and to sent instead some beer like last year as regards from us.



He became seriously ill in September and has to be taken to the hospital where he died last Saturday. He was 73 years old.



During all the sorrows we had in our minds I forgot the beer, sorry.


He said these days at the SCC 2010 belong to the best days of his life.


Now our hearts are full of teariness and pain, and I know that he would like it when I close this chapter of his life, by telling you his feelings and saying goodbye in his name.


It was a personal need of mine to do so...and excuse me using the forum for this. I hope you know to appreciate your great friendship and your country.
Stay as you are and enjoy every moment.


I lost my father, but much more painful...I lost my best friend.


Thanks


Markus and Reinhold Voss (+ 20.October2012)






If someone has pictures showing my father or me or both at the SCC 2010, I would be thankful to get it.

So very sorry to hear of your loss. I can only imagine the pain and sorrow you must be experiencing right now. My dearest hope is that, in time, you will be able to look back at the special relationship you had with your father and know how very blessed you have been.

Please pass along our condolences to the entire family and let them know that his friends in the US are praying for them all. Best wishes- Daryl
 
So sorry for your loss, Markus.

Your father will be missed by all of us. You guys will be forever one of us.

Our thoughts and prayer go out to you and your family.

Reinhold and Markus Voss.. Cottonlanders.... forever!

Markus, I am so very sorry for your loss. SCC 2010 was my first SCC and I clearly remember you and your father being there. We certainly all appreciated the beer last year in your absence and some of us even spoke about you guys at this year's event. So, neither you nor your father have been forgotten. I wish that I had been able to make an epic trip with my father like you did with yours. Cherish that memory and he will live on in your heart. I plan to do something like that with my kids. You and your family are in our prayers.
 
Markus,
So sorry for your loss. You have some great memories to look back upon and I am glad that the Southern Cruiser Crawl is one of them. I hope you will come back to The Crawl and we will all toast your father.

Prayers and peace to you and your family.

My family and I like to thank all of you spending consolation and for your prayers...it means a lot to us that he still lives on in your memories.

Maybe we will see us again on a future SCC or Rubithon.

Regards from Germany

Markus,

Very sorry for your loss. I enjoyed meeting you and your father at the Crawl.

I echo Greg's sentiment: come back to the SCC and we'll all raise a glass to your father's memory.

Peace be with you and your family.
