Dear Lois,
I was so sad to hear that bob had passed. He was one of my favorites and I enjoyed caring for him when I was working at the dialysis unit. I am sure he will be missed by the various staff at the unit and I will miss seeing you and him around!!##imported-begin##DANIELLA TREVINO##imported-end##
Lois and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I know the void that comes with losing a one so dear. My thoughts and prayers are with you.##imported-begin##Caryle Wagasky##imported-end##
The book of Genesis talks about amazing, God-fearing men and woman as well as true love romances such as Abraham and Sarah. We could easily substitute the names of Bob and Lois to give us a story of honor, faith and enduring love. In a time where those values seem hard to find, it is reaffirming to have seen you and Bob exhibit such dedication to our Savior as well as the overflow of those virtues into your amazing children. May you continue to hold steadfast to Gods promise of eternal grace and reunification when God's plan unfolds. We love you all dearly and hold you tightly in our prayers. Thank you Van Hoef's for blessing our lives.
With Lotsa Love,
Tom, Sharon, Whitney, Cal & Piglet Elander##imported-begin##Tom and Sharon Elander##imported-end##
Dear Lois and family,
I picked up the GH Tribune yesterday and was saddened when I saw the obituary of Bob. As a former neighbor of Bob and Lois Van Hoef here in Grand Haven, I was always glad to see his smiling face each spring, marking the beginning of a new fantastic summer in our little hamlet.
He will be no doubt be missed by all who knew him, but he will be remembered for the wonderful contributions he made throughout his life.##imported-begin##Phil Vrionda##imported-end##
Dear Van Hoef family --
My condolences. I would often see Bob in the skyways downtown St. Paul or run into him a events during the years I was a writer for the St. Paul Pioneer Press. My husband, Ron Aune (who died Oct. 4) especially enjoyed Tuesday morning businessmen's Bible study at the Union Gospel Mission, which Bob (I think) started and often attended. He was a towering figure.

Dear Lois and family,
I don't know if you will remember me, but I worked as Bob's secretary at The
First National Bank of St. Paul. Working for Bob and getting to know the family was a joy. Bob was the only star in my banking career whick lasted over 33 years. The memories I and Rol share are wonderful. Going to your home for dinner, you both coming to my home for a Lebanese dinner, the Saints hockey games, etc. Rol and I are deeply saddened by your loss and will never forget him and the family.
Sincerely, Rol and June Torok##imported-begin##June& Rol Torok##imported-end##
