Not sure what to say?

May he rest in peace. Sorry for your loss.

i had Mr. VanderBeek in high school. He was a true christian man and always a nice word to everyone.

So many fond memories of you,
Mr. Vander Beek, in German Class
at Pal-Mac High School in 1971&1972.

I have so many wonderful memories of your parents as we were growing up. They were also such good friends to our parents. They were a treasure! Love and prayers! Joni Hornbeck ( VanDorp)

I thought of Walt as my parents' dear friend and my personal mentor. He would always greet me in French and ask how my life was going. He also seemed ageless. I am blessed to have known him.

I loved Mr. VanderBeek as my Spanish teacher. He was so much fun. May God comfort you.

I loved him as a substitute in Lyons High school. He was kind and funny. I will miss him deeply.

Mr. Vanderbeek was my home room teacher in 1966. He was the most kind and caring person. He & his wife Marlene later became volunteers at the Wayne County nursing home where I was the activity director. We became good friends. I missed seeing them after they moved but was glad they were near their family.
My deepest sympathy ,prayers and thoughts to their family & friends. Jane from Macedon,NY
