Wilfred Vredevoogd

Wilfred was a mainstay at American house and he will be dearly missed by so many. Hope your eating lots of peanut butter toast will.

I credit God for bringing Wil into my life. He offered me steady, good paying work and friendship at a desperate time in my life. He personally taught me and handed me a new career. He did a lot of extras like making sure I would leave work mid day or when ever to be at all my kids school events. He would also pay me for the hours missed knowing I had some pretty good bills to pay back then. There was many other things that were personally fun that Wil and I shared..lots of fun and meaningful...

So sorry to family. I started working for Will in 1977. We worked together for decades. In all that time I think we had a handful of real arguments. He taught me the trade. He let me waterski on Lake Michigan behind the Criss. Almost drowned. Enjoyed it completely. We did a lot of good work together. Hoping there's skiing where you are. Thanks my friend. Bob

Sandy and family, Will was a faithful customer of Ivanrest Hardware and we will miss him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you! The Ivanrest Crew!
