Richard Helderop

Pastor Helderop meant the world to me. I´m so sorry I´m just seeing this now. He was a profound man among men...

To Sandra, Bev. and family --pastor Dick met so much to me and holds a place of highest respect to me ( as do you Sandra). My sincere sympathy . For Dick he truely lived for Christ and to die will be GAIN!

Dick was a blessing from God to our family. We have so many fond memories of Dick. He was instrumental in leading my in-laws to the Lord and I am sure they are thanking him right now in Heaven. Dick never had a bad word for anyone and was always there when you needed a helping hand. We will all miss him. I continue to pray that the Lord will lift up the family in their time away from him but am thankful we will see him again in Glory.

Praying for peace and comfort for your family.

We love you all so much. So many good memories of Uncle Dick. Praying for you all - we know how hard it is to let someone go. But we also know how it is to free someone to God (and Grandma Dot - Gods right hand). Aunt Sandy - hold strong - you and mom are some of the strongest women I know. Love you all! Karin and Kevin

But, the one thing I will never forget is when my baby girl was killed in an auto accident and seeing his calming, loving face with tears in his eyes as I...

Where to start for the memories of a mentor. As the obituary says, made time for everyone, loved God. Well too many memories to list but great flu to have been under his shepherding all those years at DBC. Well done!
