Jeanne and family it's been a long, long time and we want to send our deepest sympathy and many many hugs! The memories came flooding back of our times in West Spring Lake and the bus rides! Our dads are singing in Heaven together! Hugs to all.

Your Mother was my second grade teacher. She taught me phonics and basically, how to read. We also shared an Aunt (Evelyn Holtrop Hoebeke). Your Dad was Mary and my seventh and eighth grade History teacher. He taught me how to outline, made History one of my favorite classes all through school, and also taught our two sons before his retirement. Every time I would see him, school-related or anywhere else, he always remembered me and asked how Mary was. I'll remember him for his beautiful penmanship, for every once in a while reading a story to our class, and for always having a big smile. While we are sorry for your loss, we hope you also will always have happy memories of a great guy.
We met Burnie & Elenore at Seldom Rest RV Park in S Tx. They were are neighbors, until they sold. What a beautiful couple. And such giving neighbors. Burnie always had a smile for you, and a kind word. It was such an honor to know both of them.

Although it's been years, I still smile every time I remember Uncle Burnie. He was so full of life and joy and fun and smiles and laughter. I'm praying for peace and comfort and strength for the family - with thanksgiving to God for a very special man who lived life so well. Blessings and love, Ruth (Apol) Zoodsma
I knew Bernie and Elinore from the RV park in TX. They were both greatly loved and we missed them when they left. Wonderful couple and wonderful loving friends. They are together again with Jesus, what a happy reunion that must have been!!! Love, Sandy and Paul Lucas
I had the HONOR to know Burnie & Elinore at their R V. trailer in S Texas. They were WONDERFUL people & it was a delight to have them as friend
I so enjoyed getting to meet Burnie and spend a few visits at my daughter Julie's house with him. He was a very caring person and I was so glad to have been able to spend that time with him. Betty Clark
