 Mr. William Doezema, aged 92, of Grand Rapids, went to be
with his Lord on Friday, March 27, 2009. He was preceded in death by
his
daughter, Andrea Dykstra, brother, Charles (Gerry) Doezema,
daughter-in-law,
Linda Doezema. He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Jeannette;
children,

Bill served in the U.S. Army Air Corps in World War II from 1941 to
1945. Along
with his brother, Charles, he founded the Mastercraft Furniture Co. in
1946.
His creative mind, coupled with ideas inspired by world travel,
generated an
exquisitely beautiful line of furniture. Bill was a longtime member of
Calvin
Christian Reformed Church who loved the shores of Lake Michigan, was an
avid
tennis player, and a personable volunteer driver at Raybrook
Apartments, often
sought after by name. He was well known for his generosity. We will
remember
him as a wonderful, loving, and loyal husband, brother, uncle, father,
and
grand-father. Funeral services will be held Tuesday 1:00 p.m. in the
Chapel of
Raybrook Manor with Rev. Edward Knott officiating. Interment is at
Chapel Hill
Memorial Gardens. Memorial contributions
maybe made to Calvin CRC Mission Fund or The Luke Society. |
