Mr. Sietsema was such a kind man, and when I used to hang out with Keri, he always had a smile on his face. May God be with your family as I know you will be missed. Enjoy heaven and get the softball field ready for Keri and I when we get there. You were a good man.

I remember Mr. Sietsema as such a kind and faithful man with a servant's heart. His smile was always welcoming at Knapp Church. My grandma appreciated and always looked forward to his and Phyllis' visits. Wishing peace and comfort to all of your family!

Russ will be surely missed, I have known him a long time since he put the fireplace in our home on Leonard Street when I was a kid.

It seems like a part of my own history is missing now that Russ has left us for his heavenly home. I'll surely miss him when our old Baldwin School group gets together for lunch later this month. He was the first man to join us women and he was a fun addition to our time together. May the face of Jesus shine on you during your time of grief and give you His peace.
