My sympathy to the VanderZowen family. Your Dad was a Great man. I remember when he took us to camp so many years ago. I remember meeting him later at the same camp when I was there at a seniors day with my Dad. May God comfort and bless you.

A very faithful servant has gone home. “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His faithful servants.” Psalm 116:15 I can still see Bill sitting in church on the right side..as he supported Sharon as she played the organ. His light was always shinning for Jesus. Faithful tn church attendance and in service to his Lord. May you all feel the peace of our Lord..in whose arms he rests.
