Grandpa Verschoor

Grandpa Verschoor passed away on April 28 at the age of 91. He was the most amazing Grandfather and Great Grandfather. We miss him dearly, but find much comfort in knowing that he has been reunited with my Grandmother in Heaven. I could write for days about my Grandpa. My siblings, cousins and I were so blessed to have such close and special relationships with Grandpa. He was the most brilliant, kind, gentle man. Grandpa valued many things, but family and education were of utmost importance to him. We were fortunate to have a Grandfather that was so invested in our lives; taking us on family trips, coming to every sporting event, birthday, and graduation, and weekly dinner.  My siblings and I were grateful for the opportunity to eulogize Grandpa at the celebration of his life in May.
