In loving memory ~
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dad/Opa at the age of 92 on October 21st, 2024. John is predeceased by his wife, Sjaan, of 68 years. Survived by his children, Ron (Cynthia), Wendey (Ivan) and Mary (Russell). Opa will be greatly missed by his grandchildren, Brad (Alyssa), Ryan (Amanda), Dana (James), Ginney (Steve), Amy (Miguel), Jason and Graeme ( Alex) with great grandchildren Kris, Olivia, Jordey, Rustyn, Mya, Rowyn, Preston, Cohen, Blake, Rentyn and Lily. Along with numerous nieces and nephews in Canada, Holland and New Zealand.
Being a carpenter for most of his working career, often he would be found in his work shop fixing things, renovating the house or making gifts. Another hobby would be, trying to perfect his skill at winemaking.
Mom and dad enjoyed the many years of camping in the motorhome with friends and family. They had loved walks and travelling.
Opa will be forever in our hearts
and may he rest in peace now,
with the love of his life.
