Jill. I will always remember your father, times spent at your house and often tell stories of his dentistry. I presume he had a great life.

What a great guy. Good times spent at the Nyboer´s with his daughter Jill. My one and only dentist growing up and the last to fill cavities without Novacaine. Make me be more conscientious about my teeth.

Wonderful memories of Andy flood our minds as Lorraine and I mourn his passing. He was a true reflection of Jesus to everyone he encountered! We are so thankful that Young Life was his ministry and passion and will be eternally grateful for his influence in our lives. Andy was a direct reason we came to know the Lord and were involved in youth ministry ourselves for over 25 years.

Our prayers go out to the entire Nyboer family as you celebrate his life with family and friends during this difficult time.

Hi Jill,
What a great guy. It was always fun to come out to that neat house in the country. My kids still don't believe that I never had Novocain until an adult. my condolences.

My Mom passed away Oct 21st 2010. Your Dad came to the funeral home to pay his respects. I had not seen him in 35+ years. What a wonderful surprise. I was immediately flooded with wonderful memories of Guilford Center, Guilford High School, Hope College, and your wonderful family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

We are so sorry for your loss. Your Dad touched so many lives for God while on this earth. Rejoice that he is now in Heaven with our Lord. And rejoice in all the wonderful memories he left for you.
May God grant you His peace.

I have fond memories of being crammed in a basement with all my friends, singing, and listening to Andy Nyboer for Young Life. He took time to know each of us and he always had something special to share with us...himself. What a delightful soul. I still have a YL rock he painted tucked away. My deepest sympathies to the Nyboer family.

I will always have fond memories of being crammed in someone's basement with all my friends for Young Life, singing and telling stories with Andy Nyboer. What a delightful soul. He always knew everyone's name and had something special to share with all of us...a bit of himself. I still have a YL rock he painted tucked away. my sympathies to the family.

To Jackie, Jill, Becky and Dutch:
Your dad (and mom) were always wonderful to me. Your dad was my dentist when I was a child, later my Sunday school teacher at Trinity and one of my Young Life leaders in high school. He is also the reason I went to Hope College and the Young Life ranches. They visited us here in the Netherlands in the 80's (as did Dutch and Cindy).
I always think of your family with love and wish all of you well. Your parents were fine examples to us.

Dear Dutch,
So so sorry. Your dad is such a great soul...I always loved being with him whether it was at Young Life, in the office or downstairs at Dad's office. He was always uplifting, delightful and so loving. Dad, Jennifer and I are sending all our love and our deepest, most heartfelt sympathy to you and the whole Nyboer clan.
