With grief in my heart I learned of the passing of our only relative in Canada. I have good memories of Gerrit visiting our family in Ontario and staying for a few days. It was a special event to have an overnight guest. I enjoyed our yearly birthday phone calls and am grateful for his empathy on the passing of our 18 year old daughter Laura, due to an impaired driver. Gerrit, you will be missed.

My dearest 2nd Cousin, this saddens me that we didn't get one more chance to touch base since Christmas.... am thankful we stayed in touch the last 30yrs since Mom's passing....and I'll miss our twice-yearly gab-fests. You've lived a beautiful life doing good for your community.... I wish you peace...

Lieve broer, het is een raar gevoel dat je er niet meer bent. We hadden van die fijne belmomenten, dat is nu helaas over. Ik heb er mooie herinneringen aan. En dat ik nog bij je geweest ben met Connie, daar hebben we met elkaar van genoten en mooi afscheid kunnen nemen.
Dag Gerrit, rust zacht

Ome Gerrit, de laatste 10 jaar van uw leven hebben wij een inhaalslag gemaakt van alle tijd daarvoor. In 2017 bij u samen met ma op vakantie geweest. En wat een prachtig leven bleek u daar te hebben en onvoorstelbaar veel mooie bereikt en gedaan. U kunt heel trots zijn! Heel fijn dat ma en u nog een paar fijne ontmoetingen hebben gehad en we hebben heerlijk gelachen nog met elkaar! Rust zacht

Lieve Ome Gerrit, ik herinner me vooral de gezelligheid die u samen met mijn moeder had! Wat konden jullie lachen met elkaar, soms om niets bijzonders. U was altijd geïnteresseerd in ons en onze kinderen. Na 93 jaar niet meer onder ons, maar wij zullen u nooit vergeten!!

Gerrit was a kind gentleman. He loved people and dedicated his life's work welcoming many to their forever home. His many trips to Holland to visit family were his joy. He was a man of faith and supported the Church and enjoyed the fellowship with " our Church
family". He has a special place in Heaven and will be remembered in our prayers.????
