Peter Veldman

While we only got to recently know Pete, we could tell what a loving and caring influence he had on his family and on all those around him.

One of our greatest privileges was to have Peter, Wilma, Tom and Anita at our house for dinner Superbowl weekend in 2011. It was like having family at my table, rather then just friends.

Pete will be missed. But he has left a living legacy in his children and grandchildren.

My condolences and prayers are with the Veldman family in this time of grief. My father, Ed Jasinski, worked for the South Bend Tribune and handled all of Pete's advertising needs for many years. He was also a parishioner at Holy Family and Christ the King.

Pete truly understood the importance of work but yet he also kept things in perspective and knew that his success was due to his faith filled business practices hallmarked by honesty, integrity, and a sense of fair play that could...

Thoughts and prayers for the entire Veldman family from the Youth Service Bureau of St. Joseph County. You have left a legacy of kindness and generosity for the entire community. Many blessings.

Our deepest sympathies to the Veldman, Joines and Edmonds families. We are so sorry for your loss. From Vel-Mac to Tire Rack, Pete was a pleasure to be around. The tire community and our local community have lost a precious gem of a man. May God bless all of you and your families.

Condolences to the Veldman family. I met Mr. Veldman when he sponsored my first little league team at Matthys in 1959, Pete & Al's Standard. A nice man, a fair businessman, and always a gentleman.

Wilma and family, our hearts are broken over your loss. Peter will be missed. We consider it an honor to have known him. You are all in our prayers.

Our condolences to Wilma and her family from your friends at 1st Source Bank Airport Branch.

My deepest condolences to the Veldman family for the loss of a wonderful man. Mark, I hope you find comfort in all the wonderful times spent over the years with him and the family. Prayers are with the family.
