Not sure what to say?

Thank you for sharing your dad with the kids from Southeastern High School. He always had a great smile and attitude towards all he met. I was able to reconnect with him several years ago and was happy to hear from him and reminice.
Thank you Mr. Eppinga

Our sympathy to the family in the passing of a wonderful man.

Praise The Lord for Mr. Stu Eppinga. I knew him as uncle Stu. My condolences to the beautiful Eppinga family. What a warm smile uncle Stu always sported. And what a great sportsman he was. I grew up with Bill ( Epp) and loved going to their home on Nottingham to mess around. He was blessed with a beautiful tenor voice and I always cried when he sang the Lord's Prayer. Until we meet again God be with you. Love you.

I was the nurse that had been there with you right after he passed. Unbeknownst to me at the time, I think we may be related as my mother was Joyse Batts-Stevens and her parents were Albert and Josephine Batts.
Who knew I was hugging my distant cousins after pronouncing his passing?!
I am also the one who was telling you I lost my mother December 23 and my father January 5th this year.
As promised, I will continue to pray for you and your family as you grieve and move forward...

We have wonderful memories of Stu in Walnut Creek...he led a men's singing group which was such a highlight for us! We are so thankful to have known such a talented man who loved the Lord. Prayers for the family.

Mr. Eppinga was always uplifting and encouraging to everyone he knew, and very helpful to those who sang in his choir on Sundays at church. He gave Joan the confidence to...
