Not sure what to say?

The news of Bob's passing was not only sad, but surprising. I was not aware that he was sick. Bob was more than just a land lord. He was so supportive of our dance students, but more so of Jp and Winkee. He was very good to me and my family and he will be sadly missed. My heart goes out to his family. We loved "Bob the Builder" as family. Bob was very special. Love, Sonja, Jim, Jp & Winkee!

Dear Carol, Denny, Margaret and family,
So sorry to hear of Grandpa Dykstra's passing. What an awesome man and supporter of all our kids. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Love, The Ekkens Family

Grandpa Dykstra was a great man and the best kentwood hockey fan ever. We all will miss him.

On behalf of the entire team at Home Acres our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. The thousands of visits Bob made to our stores to pick up material (sometimes 2 and 3 times a day) will be missed dearly. Many times he's blow threw our yards in a flash, leaving us to wonder, what was that. When he did stop to talk awhile he always left us smiling.

Dear Carol and family, I will miss Bob. I sure enjoyed hearing stories about his kids and his grand kids and we had many of good laughs and talks about the Red Wings. He was a good man and a good friend. He will be missed by all of us at Sto-ex... I pray you will find peace in this some how.
Sincerely,
Rick Huempfner
