Recently I officiated at the memorial service for a very dear friend, fellow worker and father-in-law to my son. It was an experience I will long remember.
Dr. Glen Doornink was a father, grandfather, great-grandfather, beloved physician to many, and a dedicated man of God.
I am reminded of Dr. Luke’s observation about David in the 13th chapter and 36th verse of Acts, "For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep and was buried with his fathers …"
What a wonderful legacy to a selfless man that hundreds of co-workers and former patients .. patients crossing many color lines, but treated equally .. attended his memorial.
What a wonderful legacy that 7 children, 36 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren all serve the Lord.
What a wonderful legacy that he will be remembered in Romania and Yugoslavia where he assisted me on several missionary trips.
And what a wonderful legacy that 8 of his grandchildren have been part of the team that helped us with the language camps in Slovakia and Poland for the last 6 years.
Dr. Doornink was distinguished by his many professional accomplishments over 40 years, by his love for his family and by his service to mankind while walking this earth. He always put the health of the people over the importance of making money.
And now, like David, "having served his own generation by the will of God, he has fallen asleep and been buried with his fathers …"
A wonderful legacy .. a marvelous man .. Dr. Glen Doornink.
