HOOGENDOORN, Jacob "Jake"
Kalamazoo Jake was born April 21, 1915 and went to be with his Lord and Savior on Monday, May 31, 2010. Jake was born the son of Nick and Jennie Triesenberg and Minnie Dontje Hoogendoorn. Jake was married to Lena Luteyn in 1936. They had three children, Jack Janice Hoogendoorn, Bob Peg Hoogendoorn and Faith Pat Comerford. He was preceded in death by his wife Lena in 1982 and also three grandchildren, LaNae Lynn, Todd Ronald and Joshua Hoogendoorn. Also preceding him were four sisters, Nellie, Jeanette, Juanita and Agnita and five brothers, Henry, Nick, Ben, Roy and Coolie; and a sister-in-law, Marian Buckhout. In addition to his children, Jake is survived by his wife, Gerry Bohs, whom he married in 1983, and Gerry's children, Pat Sykes, Don Mary Bohs and Janyce Mark Darrow; many grandchildren and great grandchildren; two sisters, Tricia and Willie; and two brothers, Wayne and Jack. Also surviving are sisters-in-law, Wilhelmina and Vera Hoogendoorn, Margaret and Annabelle Luteyn; two brothers-in-law, Frank, Jr. Pam and Bob Judy Santman. Jake owned and operated J & B Flowers Hoogendoorn's House of Flowers from 1946-1977 when he retired. Previous to that, he worked at and managed Vander Salm's Flowers for 17 years. Jake's love was for his family and extended family, but above all for his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Among his last wishes and comments were that his entire family, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren come to know and love HIM also. "Blessed Assurance, Jesus is mine, Oh what a foretaste of Glory Divine." The family will receive friends at the North Park Reformed Church, 1316 Barney Rd. on Wednesday from 2-4 and 6-8 PM.
