Dear Ev , Randy and Kloostra family, May your memories bring you smiles and comfort. My deepest sympathy on the passing of your Dad and Grandpa. Warmly, Denise Makuch

Dear Brian Terry Sally and families. We are saddened today to hear of your dads passing. I remember fondly hanging out with you and visiting with your mom and dad over the early years of our lives and then more recently when Gord would play cribbage with my dad at the senior center or in the house. My dad always enjoyed the times they would get together. Peace and blessings to you and yours. One day we will all meet again. The Ritsema’s

Dear Kloostra family, We would like to express our sympathies in the loss of your dear Dad and Grandpa. We got to know your folks when we joined Hope Church 30 years ago. We were blessed by their friendliness and talents. The music your family shared to God's glory over the years has been passed down through the generations! What an absolutely thoughtful, warm, and meaningful celebration of life service to honor your dad. The piano, french horn, and singing, culminating with "We Shall Behold Him" was so fitting for a man who loved his Lord and is now seeing Jesus face to face. May God comfort you all as you will miss Gord's loving presence here on earth. With love and prayers, Jim and Cheryl Buist

Lynn, Jaden, Curt.... and the rest of the Kloostra family, I am so sorry for your loss. I never got to meet your Dad/Grandpa, but through Lynn I feel like I did. It sounded like he loved golf, life, and all of you. I hope your day together helps you find some peace as you share your memories and love for him. Peace be with you all.

— Laurie

Rest in peace, Mr Kloostra.
