Leo Venneman

Dear Family, I had the pleasure of working with Leo for many years in the paintshop at steelcase. His wonderful spirit, his love for His God and his ever ready smile is how I will remember him...He taught me many life lessons and I think of him often these years since his retirement. He was always the first person I would look for at the 25 yr get togethers. Dan Wynia

You will be missed Uncle Leo. My prayers are with all my cousins and family.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-14
Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.

Melinda (Veldman) McAvoy and Family

Our deepest sympathy and prayers to all of your family. Our father was very special to us, as was your mother. We loved them both. In Christian love, Sandy Parks, Paul and Connie Parks and family, Mark Parks, and Marisue and Todd Overbeek and family.

Randy and the rest of the family - so sorry to hear about your dad. My prayers are with you. Sandy Jeltema (Marsman)

Randy, Ron, Rick, Robin and Rochelle,
I am so sorry to hear about your father. He was a sweet and gentle man and your mom and him were such great neighbors to us when we lived on Kraft. I think of your mom often, she was a good friend, and she visits me often in my dreams. I am so sorry for your loss. Cheryl Ward (Townsend)

Leo was just a tremendous man! Leo was a real blessing in my Mom's life and for that I am so grateful. He was cherished by my Mom, Jan Reid as her "life companion" over the past 10 plus years and I believe he cherished her in the same way. Their strong bond and love for each other was truly something special. I fondly recall when my Mom called me on the phone to tell me she had met this special person. After I had the opportunity to finally meet Leo personally and see how much they meant to...
