Beverly, Roy & family, My deepest condolences on the loss of your father Beverly. I recall you sharing many funny stories about your relationship with him and those are the things you can keep close to your heart. Your dad is at peace now and home with God but still looking over you and your family.

Joe will be missed by those who knew him. I will always remember what a great friend he was to my parents John and Bep Kreeft. He was there for them, and later helping me clean-up Dad & Mom's estate and finances. Nothing was too much as he did it all with a smile, and an "off-the-cuff" comment. These are good memories.

John & Ineke Sytsma, June 26, 2021
