Not sure what to say?

I will always remember John as a great boss cherish the memories I have of him, and working for him and the family.

My heart felt sympathies to the Vander Ploeg and Hoekstra families. I have fond memories of John and working for him. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. May God be with you all in this time of sorrow.

John was a great friend and mentor over the years to me. He had a wealth of knowledge and used it to help others. He was generous not only with his church, KCSA and with his mission partnership in starting small businesses in Africa. No doubt he’ll leave a whole in many off our lives but he’s rejoicing with His savior he loved so much. His legacy will continue not only through his family but with the many ministries he was involved with. You’re finally home.

Our deepest sympathy to Margaret, children, grandchildren & great grandchildren. In Christian love, Tom & Kathy Verbeek.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
