Will always remember Andy. May God wrap his arms around the entire family & give you comfort & peace.

ILL WILL MISS YOU AS YOU I SAW YOU AT OLD CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL

Andy is such a great guy. I'll always remember him as the quiet guy who was always more than willing to step out up the limelight. He didn't say much, but when he did, it was either profoundly wise or outrageously funny. I always saw Andy as a humble, giving man. He gave so much unrequited love to his wife, his kids, his friends, and his saviour: Jesus Christ. Even after he's gone, he has given us a gift: there can be NO doubt that Andy in Heaven (alive and well). He's been face-to-face...

Keeping you in my prayers! Let God wrap his loving arms around you.

My condolences to the entire VanderWoulde family! Andy was an awesome man and his legacy is the VanderWoulde family. Grace and Peace

Dear Joan and All of the Family,

We are sending you all of our love and support. I am sure that Andy has been reunited with so many dear friends and family who have gone before him. It is so hard for us left here, as he was a treasure and a gift to every life he touched.
Love, Laura, Rupert, Katelyn, Sarah, Jonathan, and Daniel Vessey

My thoughts and prayers are with the family today. Andy taught our kids to swim and I had the pleasure of working with him for a number of years at Kalamazoo Adult Education. We explored the early days of computers together and had lots of fun. A good man - he will be missed.

Our thoughts are with Steve, Maggie, and the boys during this time of loss. Losing a parent can be especially difficult; Christmas will be very different this year.

What a wonderful man and what a gift to so many Andy was: his family, friends, and the children he taught. The gift of himself will be carried forward for generations.
