Dear Judy and family, I was so saddened to read to Casey’s passing. Obituary was a beautiful story of Casey and Judy‘s life together. We were classmates at the Muskegon Christian School and West Michigan Christian high school. We would meet every five years for a high school reunion. He was a true gentleman. Joan DeKoning Jansma

Case was such a beautiful soul who led a servant life! He was God's hands and feet on this Earth and made an impact on so many lives. Humble, faithful and generous; those are words I associate with Case. We know he's smiling down on us from Heaven, and that brings comfort. Much love... Joanne and family
Case was one of my dearest cousins who would come visit us in the Netherlands when I was just a little girl.
We have enjoyed many wonderful times together but I am so grateful for the time we spent in Missouri just last September.
My greatest memory of Case is the time we flew to the Netherlands together for our Uncle Jan's 90 birthday and we flew through some major turbulence and he held my hand until things calmed down!
I'm going to miss you Case.
With love from Tiny ❤️
Our condolences to the Vaandering family. We are honored to offer our friendship and support, pay our respects on Thursday, and be with Judy, Eric, and Stacy. Hugs to the family.

I met Case and Judy through my late husband George, who served with Case in Berlin. I always enjoyed Case's company and looked forward to spending time with him and Judy at the Berlin Veterans' reunions. No matter the location, Case always found interesting places for us to explore. I especially remember the fun time the four of us had in Berlin in 2006. At Case's suggestion, I attended the 2022 reunion in New Orleans. My primary purpose for attending was to spend time with him and Judy. I am so thankful that I made that trip, since it was the last time that I saw Case. He was a terrific person, a man of faith and strong moral values, who will be greatly missed. I consider myself very fortunate to have known Case. I offer my most sincere condolences to my friend Judy and to Eric and Stacy.
