John William Vander Ploeg

Dear VanderPloeg family,
I'm so sorry for your loss but I know he's happy in heaven with his wife. I'll never forget all the stories I heard about his work and family. We had many good laughs together, like every morning when I told him he didn't have to go to school or work because he was retired :)
I already miss seeing you guys around the Raybrook.
You're in my prayers.

Dear John, Barb and Family

We just heard of your dad's homegoing and want to express our deepest sympathies to you and your family. I know this will leave a huge hole in your lives. But as Paul said, our hope is not in this world, but in the next. As sad as your days are now, take comfort that one day you will be reunited with him in a place that we can not even imagine now.

May God grant you His peace.

John, you and your family have our deepest sympathy. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

Dear VanderPloeg family: I was one of John's nurses during the past year. He was a lovely man. I know he missed Lois greatly and longed to be with her in Heaven. I'm sure they are together now and it is just as John anticipated. He will be greatly missed on 3rd floor. You have my deepest sympathy for your loss. Margaret Swinehart LPN

To all the loved ones of John VanderPloeg,
My condolences to all of you in the passing of someone so dear. I have fond memories of walking my dog(s) past their house on Maumee down from my house and I always received a happy hello and wave. To think that they are together again, celebrating their salvation in the presence of our Lord and Savior. Praying for all of you as you experience this earthly loss; rejoicing with you in the gift of eternal life.

In Christ,
Kim...
