re former prominent Bellflower resident Rev Gareth 'Ace' Kok
Rev Gareth Kok was a Dutch-American Christian Reformed Church pastor who started out as a pastor at the First CRC in Bellflower in the mid 1930's when the area was mostly dairy farms, many owned and operated by Dutch immigrants. Rev. Kok also founded Valley Christian schools around this time. The Kok family included children Sherwood, James, Faith, Kay, & Gary. Prior to Bellflower, they lived in Hills Minnesota, & after several years in Bellflower, the family also lived in Hanford CA , as well as Holland Michigan, where Gareth's wife, Kathryn, sadly died an early death. Later, in retirement, Gareth & his 2nd wife, Ada, returned to Bellflower where they remained until their departure from this earthly life onward to a better place. One of the sons of Gareth (Jim) also became a Christian Reformed pastor, and later served at the Crystal Cathedral as director of pastoral care. He and his wife Linda are retired in Bellflower as of 2023 .
