Obituary for Richard “Rick” Dale Van Langevelde
Rick was born and raised in Holland, Michigan where he graduated from Holland High School, and later met his wife, Paula (Wilson).
He is survived by his wife, Paula; their three children, Amy (Joel Wernlund) Van Langevelde, Beth (Dirk) Kuipers, and Will (Leah) Van Langevelde, as well as his grandchildren, Sophie and Ella Kuipers, and Isla and Cecilia Van Langevelde.
Rick retired from Haworth in 2017 after 40 years of service. Rick is well known for his fine woodworking- his work being admired locally and across the country. You could always depend on Rick for a good joke, a life lesson, or a helping hand.
Rick will be remembered as a kind husband, a loving father, and a grandfather who could always be counted on to give his time, knowledge, or a laugh.
A memorial service will be held at noon on Friday, July 29, 2022, at Langeland Sterenberg Funeral Home, 315 E. 16th St. Holland, MI 49423.
A time of visitation with the family will precede the service and start at 11:00 am that same morning.
