A Note From Dick DeVos
Welcome! My life’s work in business, public policy, civic engagement, and education have been rewarding endeavors. That work continues today. I’m grateful for the opportunity to help mentor businesses, lead public policy initiatives, and support the rapid growth of West Michigan. My hope is that you are inspired and encouraged to join in creating positive change and leaving a lasting impact on West Michigan and beyond.
Today is a day of remberance. Our nation changed forever 23 years ago on that tragic morning. May we never forget the innocent lives lost and the first responders who heroically rushed in to save lives. God Bless America. ... See MoreSee Less

This month marks six years since my Father entered his heavenly home. He is the greatest man I'll ever know. He put his faith and family above everything else, and to this day, his example continues to guide me. He helped change so many lives around the world for the better with his encouraging words. Love and miss you, Dad! ... See MoreSee Less

We love Rich!
Inmensurablemente grande♥️ Gracias
I served on Cabinet21 with your father on the ethics committee. I believe the year was 1988, maybe 1989. A powerful influence on the lives of millions. May he rest in peace in the Lord’s Mighty and Perfect Paradise. Louie Carrillo sends blessings. Amen 🙏🏼
I was a little guy in Amway in the mid 80’s but my grandparents had been in the business for years. I entered an elevator at the Grand one afternoon and your dad was on it. I introduced myself and who my grandparents were and he greeted me as an old friend. I was so impressed and touched by his kindness.
Salute to a great man....I read all about you back in 1984, 40 years ago...so inspired by your philosophies .... thanks for helping people around the world live a better healthier life.....glad your children and grandchildren take after you and carry on the work you left behind ....I am forever grateful to be in AmwAy...RIP...❤️❤️❤️

Today kicks of #NationalAviationWeek! Flying has been a passion for our family for a long time. My dad introduced me to flying, and in fact, before beginning Amway, he and his business partner, Jay Van Andel, opened Wolverine Air Service, a flight school near Grand Rapids. I continue to fly and am proud to share that legacy with my son, Rick. We even started the West Michigan Aviation Academy here in Grand Rapids (one of the top schools in the state!) with a curriculum rich in science, technology, engineering, and math. So many of these students discover a love of aviation, and it changes their entire life's trajectory. We like to say - the higher your altitude, the broader your horizon! 😊 ... See MoreSee Less

We are so grateful for your contributions to society. As a frequent flyer at GRR it gives me joy every time I see the AVIATION school started by you and your family. What a blessing to our future leaders. 
Your Dad and Jay were such visionaries!! West Michigan was blessed by their generosity and you and your families continue the wonderful tradition 🙏🏻❤️
I can just hear your incredible Dad saying that! What joy your family has blessed the world with in every generation. God bless you all.
WMAA is great in academia, two of my grandchildren are now successful professionals and, the base of it all is a great high school education!
Wow. I love this story. It’s awesome
Your family has been an incredible blessing to all of West Michigan!
Would that be a F4 Phantom jet????
I am able to attest to this. My grandson David is a WMAA grad and just received his Naval Wings and will be off to fly the Poseidon P8 Submarine Warfare jet. Quite a plane it is.
Thank you for sharing your love of aviation! All of my kids attend/attended WMAA and one is pursuing his passion in aviation and is a pilot!
Awesome - Army Aviation was my career - so thrilled to be a member of the Amway Business -
Your dad inspired others in so many ways.
Wow that’s a great picture!! So many great memories with you all and because of you all!! You have played such a huge part in our lives.thank you so much!!
WMAA is such an amazing program for youth in SW MI!! We (Moody Aviationn) had the opportunity to visit earlier this spring and we're very impressed with not only the quality and level of instruction for your flight and maintenance students but the maturity of your students. Would be great to see some join us out in Spokane, WA becoming Missionary Aviators!!
You are incredible... Thank you
Amen! Love it
My wife’s uncle was a pilot for Wolverine Air Service.
Thanks so much for sharing & keeping the legacy alive ❣️
Wonderfully life
Happy Birthday Bill Britt

Great outcome for Grand Rapids and all of West Michigan - the soccer stadium and Acrisure Amphitheater will help transform our community and make it an even better place to live! ... See MoreSee Less

With higher taxes on the middle class? I can’t be excited for this in our current economy. Unless I’m not understanding how this all works.
This is so awesome for Grand Rapids! Thank you so much for all that you do for our great city!!! 🤩
What an amazing news!! Thank you!🙏
The old GM property at 36th street and 131 would have made more sense for a soccer arena, and would add to revitalizing new businesses
I would have preferred to see a state of the art Aquarium that is open year round versus an open air Amphitheater that will be unused during the winter months.. And with the river being turned into rapids, hopefully they can turn up the volume.. 😉
Looks great
Love the growth but the outrageous parking issue is real for downtown GR. Something needs to change or I think the businesses eventually start to suffer.
Well presented to voters.
Fantastic for Grand Rapids! The continued growth is outstanding. I’m convinced it’s the best place in the Midwest to live!
So excited for this!! ⚽️⚽️⚽️
Wow, that is exciting!
All we need now Mr Dick DeVos is at least a new 50 story iconic skyscraper to add to our skyline! Something fresh and modern. Especially since there’s been about 3 to 4 taller skyscrapers either rejected due to height limitations or projects downsized over the last 30 years! Anything taller than 50 stories would be too tall for our downtown. Hopefully the 2 high rises next or near to the (could be the old Charlie’s Crab location) that are shown in other Amphitheater renderings end up getting built to add to our skyline. We also need 131 north of the S curve and south it of completely gutted, redesigned, widened, replaced and modernized and the 1-96/131 interchange - gutted and redesigned. It’s still the same original design from the early 1960’s before our population growth to 1.1 million last I checked?
😮😃😃🌈🌈Yes，definitely will
Matt Scott ⚽️ stadium in GR!
🎊🏁🏗🏗
