We mourn the death and celebrate the life of William Spoelhof, former president of Calvin College and longtime member of the Calvin community. Dr. Spoelhof died just days away from his 99th birthday. Just a few weeks ago he was still walking past our front door to the nearby coffee kitchen where he and colleagues met every morning to discuss matters grave and trivial. He often visited our office to offer a warm greeting–among the many things we’ll miss about him. A memorial service will be held at Calvin on Monday, Dec. 8.
