Thomas Newhof Obituary
We are sad to announce that on June 24, 2025, at the age of 88, Thomas Newhof of Grand Rapids, Michigan passed away. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Thomas Newhof to pay them a last tribute.
As we bid adieu to Thomas' earthly form, let us not dwell on the void left in his wake, but rather celebrate the legacy of love and inspiration Thomas has bequeathed us. For though he may have departed from our sight, his spirit remains a timeless beacon, guiding loved ones through the labyrinth of life's journey.
Visitation will be held on Thursday, June 26th 2025 from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at the First Protestant Reformed Church (2800 Michigan St NE, Grand Rapids, MI 49506). A memorial service will be held on Friday, June 27th 2025 at 2:00 PM at the same location. Tom was a regular presence in the office until 2020, when the pandemic response required remote work.
In lieu of flowers, please consider giving to Eastside Christian School (https://www.eastsidechr.org), Redeemer Christian School, or make a designated gift to the Thomas and Garretta Newhof/Prein&Newhof Research Fund at the VanAndel Institute. This fund was established in 2019 by Prein&Newhof in recognition of Tom's (and Greta's) 50 years of continual service to the company, with the goal to further Parkinson's Disease research.
