Dear Cathy, Taylor, Tripp, Isabel, and Olivia,
I recently learned of Kip's death. I was shocked and now my heart is heavy with sadness. Please know that I hold all of you in my thoughts and prayers. You are all very special to me.

Cathy and family, I am so sorry to hear of Kip's passing. It has been years and years since I had seen Kip. We were in grade school together at Wealthy Elementary. From everything I have read, I can tell that Kip was a wonderful man, and that he truly made a difference in the lives of many many people. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Cathy,
We were very saddened to hear of Kip's passing. You and your family
are in our thoughts and our hearts go out to you in your time of sorrow.

Hi Cathy, so very sorry for your loss. Hadn't seen Kip in a while but have great memories of a wonderful man. My prayers are with your family.

Cathy:
I am so very sorry to hear about your loss. I will always remember Kip's coaching Taylor and Kaitlyn in Youth Soccer. He also so enjoyed the WWII talk I invited him to as I recall him and Tripp actively participating in the discussion with the speaker, Peter Wege, at Aquinas College. Like I said to you earlier, he was a kind and gentle soul who will be missed. Love and prayers to all of you....XO

To the Entire Vanderhyde Family: I am so sorry for your loss. I met Kip (aka Keith in Arizona) in the fall of 1976 down in Tucson at the University of Arizona. We were fraternity pledge brothers at the Phi Gamma Delta (FIJI) house and lived across the hall from each other in the house. We had some many funny and great memories of Kip. He was very entertaining and fun to be around with, this young kid from Grand Rapids. He always talked about the changing of the seasons in Michigan and...

Dear VanderHyde Family, I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I will always remember the generous gift of an airline ticket to The Big League World Series in South Carolina when my son Joey was helping young Tripp work on developing his baseball skills. It was a kindness I will always remember and have been so grateful for. His kindness will be always appreciated by this baseball mom. Mary Goeb

Dear Cathy and family - my heart goes out to you in this time of great loss. May you be blessed with the comfort that transcends the grief and may the tender memories and Kip's wit bring you continued joy. God bless you.
