Michelle Korvemaker wrote a sympathy message

“Dear DeKoter family, Condolences on the loss of your husband, father and grandfather. I am unable to come to the visitation or memorial service on Monday to give condolences in person. I remember that Mr DeKoter was a willing servant of the Lord and I trust that he is with the Lord now and no longer suffering in any way. I have good memories of him from growing up in the same church and my parents enjoying his friendship.”
