Carol , Kip and Tadd My sympathies to you and your families. Bill was one of the people who was respected by all who knew him. I was privileged to know him. Blessed memories for all of you. Bob Bredeweg

Condolences to Bill's family. I have many memories of umpiring with Bill back in the day for the City of Wyoming Parks and Recreation. He was a great umpire who always was very patient with every player! Later in life, I would see Bill sitting courtside in his wheelchair watching his grandkids play basketball. He always had pleasant things to say every time I reffed with him and when I saw him watch his grandkids. He was truly a genuine person! Rest in peace, Joe Amante

Marilyn and I wish to convey our deepest sympathies to Carol and all the family. I first met Bill when I started work at Kent Intermediate School District in 1969. Bill was a welcoming person who found out I like the game of golf. Bill became one of my closest friends along with Carol. We played golf at a lot of the golf courses in Michigan. He would find a new course to try and gave me a call, and we´d put the clubs in the car and go. One of the outings we went to was the Grand Rapids...

What an exemplary and outstanding person. Condolences to Carol and family. Pat and Gary Nederveld

My sympathies and prayers to the family. Many found memories of Mr. Doezema. He was a class act! Thoroughly loved his calmness and tell it like it is on many aspects. From awesome incites at Gus Macker tournaments to tasteful explanations of just how good and bad some coaches were. Loved listening to Mr. Doezema and thankful for those times. A hug to Mrs. Doezema and bro hugs to Kip and Tad and also great peace knowing his faith was strong and all the positive lasting memories....

Dear Aunt Carol, Kip, Tad, and family - I am so sorry for your loss and will keep you in my prayers. I have many memories of good times shared between our two families. Uncle Bill was always the winner of Trivial Pursuit - he was so smart - and it was a good thing to be on his team. We love you and pray that you feel God's peace and love in the coming days.
