Rich walked me through their Summer Home here in Holland…. The sitting room just outside their bedroom had two chairs, a TV , a bookcase with a few souvenirs…a table between the chairs holding only a worn Bible. I knew then and have often drawn on, your parents had priorities ….. and they were in Love!

I was 18 years old and met your dad at Laurie Mulham’s house. He was sitting on the floor in the living room just chilling being a normal guy that was very interested in what we kids were up to that night. After I met him Bill Mulham asked me if I knew that was😂😂😂😂 I said no, he said that’s Amway😂

A very kind and brilliant man who always made you feel like you were special. Somehow, he would remember your name and I would always feel so good when somebody like Richard say, hi Bill how are you? Such a simple thing but so powerful. If everybody read his books, be like Rich!, 10 powerful words to say to people and his other simple and amazing powerful books, the world would be such a better place! I miss him and think of him often and hopefully my life is a reflection of what I learned from Rich DeVos and how I treat others.

When you think Grand Rapids you think DeVos

I met him at my son's football game on the field after he walked up sat beside me shared his story about faith and his story of his heart surgery 🙏 after that I saw him again I was working at Mary freebed at the time I was walking in his Audi pulled up in the round about at the hospital a guy let's him out of the back he gets out and yell hey Tony

I worked with your Grandma Ethel. She was a sweet lady and very down to earth. I was 19 and taught me how to use a 10 key calculator without looking. I remember her telling me one day, that she would tell your dad that he puts his pants on one leg at a time, just like everyone else.

Rich De Vos Siempre ha Sido mí Inspiración en mis 45 años cómo IBO 💎

Your dad spoke at my high school graduation in 1973. How many people can remember who spoke at their high school graduation? He made a big impression on me!

And do you ever just walk around GR?

I first saw RDV speak when THE AMWAY GRAND PLAZA OPENED UP...I was a 18 year kid, Grand Rapids Mi, downtown was in very bad shape. His positive speaking and energy in that room was something I never experienced before, it changed my life. Many times I served Mr and Mrs DeVos at the hotel when they hosted many friends and Family it was always a pleasure...THAT FAMILY CHANGED Grand Rapids MI GOD BLESS RICH AND HELEN.

I never knew your parents, but live in the benefits of their generosity. Grand Rapids would not be what it is today without them. World class medical facilities, sports and entertainment venues, business investments, and job growth are some of the direct benefits, but I am sure there is much more that we do not see. Thank you for the tribute to your parents, and we honor them with you.

Both families have international respect because of their vision. Millions of people in the world are thankful to them.

I grew up with Doug, I used to take the boat down to your house for dinner with your folks. Also knew them from Troop 342, LaGrave Ave Church. Boumas, Swets, DeGraff. They would come down to the boathouse in the jeep. Good times.

Your dad is an AWESOME guy the best business owner and I worked for your company for 43 years. I have dance and entertain employees at many Christmas program and always enjoyed Mr. Rich De Vos Christmas story he reads from the bible. Actually I have so many great Amway stories of how your dad treated us. (*_*)

They both were such awesome people!

What a legacy they left; their generosity is beyond compare. West Michigan was so lucky to have the DeVos and VanAndel families.

❤️Very Beautiful couple! Rich always had something amusing to say and I enjoyed listening to him speak at employee meetings. Very much admire your family! 💐
