Happy Birthday Today Larry...
We all miss you❤️

VANDERBEEK, LARRY L.
Larry Lee VanderBeek, age 75, passed away suddenly June 7, 2018. Larry was born November 15, 1942 in Kalamazoo, the son of Nicholas and Mary (Hiscock) VanderBeek. He was a lifelong area resident and received his Bachelor’s Degree from Western Michigan University. During the Vietnam War he served in the U.S. Army from 1965-68. Larry has owned Stillwater’s Wine & Spirits since 2002 and thoroughly enjoyed the day to day operations of the business, especially chatting with all the customers.
Larry was a people person and never met a stranger. He was a joy to be around and loved to laugh. He was very good at falling asleep sitting up while watching TV or in the middle of a conversation. He was a generous man and loved spoiling his kids and grandkids with sugary treats (probably so he could sneak some). He made great friends throughout his life and though they may have lost touch he always remembered everyone with fondness. Larry always had an interesting fashion sense ranging from plaid suits in the 70s to his trademark Crocks of recent years (we’re pretty sure he never wore another shoe once he tried the crocks).
The most important part of Larry’s life was his family. On April 10, 1971 he was united in marriage to Patti (Pryor) VanderBeek, who survives. Also surviving are their two daughters and son-in-law’s Amalia (Jason) Julien and Kristina (Joe) Famolaro; ten grandchildren who adored their “Opa”: Sara, Bella, Mia, Lila, Anthony, Sean, Maxwell, Sophia, Eden and Eliana; mother Mary VanderBeek; brother Roger (Susie) VanderBeek; sister-in-law MaryJane (David) Hames and several nieces and nephews.
The family will receive friends from 1:00 to 3:00PM on Monday, June 11th at the Langeland Family Funeral Homes, Westside Chapel, 3926 South 9th Street, where a service to celebrate Larry’s life will begin at 3:00PM. A private family burial will take place with full military honors in Ft. Custer National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers the family suggests that memorials in Larry’s memory be directed to Kalamazoo Gospel Mission. Please visit Larry’s personalized guest book at www.langelands.com

Hmmmmm.....

Fall is on its way. Not only is the weather beautiful, but fall food is on its way back on to our plates.

My favorite dessert of all time is pumpkin pie. When I was a kid, I used to demolish an entire pie by myself. Healthy? No. Did I have to take a massive nap after? Yes, but it was worth every

Today was cold in Michigan, but Texas Township warmed our hearts by planting this tree and dedicating it to my dad, Larry Vander Beek. Kind words were shared about his dedication to bettering the township and greeting customers with welcoming stories and service at Stillwaters. Thank you to all who attended at the farmers market this afternoon. Video of dedication below.
