On the morning of March 16, our dear Walter Hendrikus Verzuu passed peacefully accompanied by Gregorian music he so loved. He is predeceased by his beloved wife Rose, his brothers Paul, Leo, Ko (Adry survives) and Guus. Survived by his loving sisters Candida (Art, deceased), Mieke (Guus, deceased), Nelleke (Frans, deceased), Theresa (Peter) and his brothers Joop (Els) and Willebrord.
He will be lovingly remembered by his children Jeff, Mike, Denyse, Tess and Marcela and by his seven grandchildren Avalon, Mitchell, Carly, Sara, Liam, Isabella and Isaac as well as many nieces and nephews and their families, in addition to colleagues, clients, and friends here and abroad. Special thanks go to his wonderful caretakers Carol, Aurine and Nikki, who devoted many days and hours to his care. Walter was fondly referred to as the travel agent’s agent, who lived his life to the absolute fullest with maximum zest, wit and passion.
