Not sure what to say?

Loved him as a wonderful and caring teacher at Kelloggsville High. He will be missed.

We are truly missing Gordon's annual Christmas newsletter. It was an honor working along side him at Alma College.

Was sorry to hear of the passing of Gordon Beld who roomed across the hall from me when attending Hope College in 1948 and 1949. He was a bright and articulate student and a pleasure to know and associate with.Please accept my sincere sympathy.

I truly enjoyed knowing and working with Gordon, even though briefly, at Grand Valley State University, and I admired his career.

He was a great contributer to the Alma community and a good meighbor. Rosemary Neilsen Mesa AZ

I got to know Gordon when I worked at Alma College in the late 1970's. He was a great promoter of the college and a very kind and caring man. Rest in peace.

To the family of Mr. Beld, I was his first secretary at Alma College in 1971 and 1972. It was a pleasure to work for him. He was a true gentleman. My condolences to the Beld family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

To the family of Mr. Beld, he was my teacher at Kelloggsville High School, what a great man he was, he also was my Drivers Ed teacher and I took him for a joy ride on 44th street over a snow bank and he turned white with that he took over the driving. Just a super guy. He always came to our class reunions.
Thanks for the memories Mr. Beld!!
