RICHARD P. ZYLSTRA

Richard, was a good friend of my parents, Albert and Annie Rienstra. I would agree that jokes was his calling. I know I would always laugh. Welcome home Richard. Condolences to the family

I agree- Rich always had a joke to share! I remember him as a salesman that knew his products, whether it was keys, or gloves or many of the items he presented over the years, he was honest and respectful with everything he did. It was a pleasure to know him and he is missed. Many of us at Godwin Hardware remember him and we extend our sympathies.

Rich was the greatest! We had alot of fun from the first time we met when I was a kid we played ping pong,golf,cards,ride go carts,I even tagged along to see him do sales work what a pro! So many memories, so much fun! Music was also a big part of the great memories also! Joking around was mandatory! Till we laugh together again! Never forgotten! always loved!

I am so sorry for your loss. I´m praying God will give you strength in this time.

Your family is in our prayers. While we rejoice that Richard is with the Lord, we grieve with you in your loss.

Mr Zylstra was the nicest man! He was at every one of Andrea and my softball games cheering us on!!! He had a huge heart and was always so welcoming! You will be missed, Mr Z.

Rich was a great man! My brothers and I knew Rich when we were little following him around when he mowed the lawn and he always made us laugh. Rich would take us fishing, play golf and loved to play cards and just have fun. We love you and your family and you are in our prayers. Until we meet again my friend! Hugh, Mike, and Ralph Bergsma your neighbors and friends.

Rich was our neighbor growing up and always entertained my brother's and I anywhere from following him around with his mower or hanging out in his garage with all the cool stuff he sold over the years. He was like family too us and was the best man in my wedding. You will always be missed and remembered in our hearts.
