Hank Voss

This world seems a bit darker today; Henry Voss, Sr. of Ramsey has gone to his reward. Hank was much more than a friend to me; he was a mentor, a shining example of a godly man who lived his faith openly. Hank was the founder, president, and chief engineer of WJLY (Where Jesus Loves You) Radio in Ramsey, and he had retired as a radio engineer after 40 years with WMBI Radio (Moody Radio) in Chicago. He would tell me stories of his days at WMBI: of meeting Bev Shea and Billy Graham, of being a radio engineer in years past, however, Hank claimed his greatest joy and accomplishment was his family. Married for over 60 years to Clara, they raised (I believe) nine children, and he would joyfully boast of the family reunions they would have and how many children/grandchildren/great-grandchildren would be there. The last few years I had only seen Hank once a year during the radio sharathons, but his guidance and wisdom was always with me. I will grieve this loss and I will pray for Clara and their children, but I also rejoice with heaven above, for I know the Lord greeted him saying, “Well done my good and faithful servant, welcome home!”
