Cousins, you have our sympathy with the passing away of your dad, our Uncle Andy. We always enjoyed seeing and talking with your dad. Because of the size of our extended family, we did not get to know our cousins who were much younger than we are. We’re Fennema cousins from the oldest child of the 15 Fennemas. We’re happy to be part of our LARGE family. Peace and comfort to you.

Very sorry for the families loss. Your dad was a great guy and friendly to everyone. Every time I would see him he was always interested in how we were doing.

Jim and I served on the 150th Eenigenburg committee with Andy and Lois. It was our pleasure to get to know them. We had good times meeting with all the committee at Bill and Jean Bristow home. Our thoughts and prayers for your family!
