My deepest sympathy to the Ipema family as we endure a temporary separation from Grandpa. Psalms 116:15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His Saints. We who believe will not perish, but enter into everlasting life with our Lord. Take comfort knowing that when we are absent from the body we are present with the Lord. Mr. Ipema's legacy is certainly preserved in business ethic and memorialized in family.

My deepest condolences to all of the Ipema family. Although I never met Henry myself his family illustrates the high quality of character that only a strong patriarch and leader can develop and nurture.
