Patrick Tietema

Dear Mike, Megan and Tietema Family- Very sorry to hear of your Dad and Grandpa's passing. Happy that he is safely home. Parkinson's is a rough disease. Praying for you all, John and Beri Bek

PAT WAS ALWAYS READY WITH A HEARTY HUG. MAY HE REST IN PEACE & BE EVER PRESENT TO THOSE HE LEAVES BEHIND & MAY HIS FAMILY FEEL GOD´S LOVING ARMS AROUND THEM DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME. GERI & TOM KARTES

Pat was a regular at my family basketball court. He along with Reagan's and Tommy Radamaker play b ball almost every day. We all had memories of Garfield Park and the Garfield woods. Those certainly were the good old days. God bless Pat and the whole family.

To the great Tietema family, I am so sorry for your loss. Pat was my very first friend, buddy, classmate and the Best Man in my wedding, roomate on Maxwell st, hunting buddy + his brother Dave. I was his first cut at barber school. It eventually grew back. I am so glad I had the chance to say good by last Saturday. It is a blessing he no longer suffers. I refuse to remember him that way. I'll remember the odd things such as Pat following in the family tradition selling newspapers on Sunday...

RIP My good friend. Missing all the road trips to play the horse's. Blessings to Ryan Michael and Jeffrey.
