Hans is allway,s in our minds and hearts special on this May 2.

Hans forever in our hearts, rest in peace.

Dear Opa, 
I miss you everyday. You had such a vibrant personality and you lit up every room with your bright smile and booming laugh.  I will always remember your warm hugs and the love you showed for me and the rest of the family by asking about all the details of our lives. I loved the taste of your delicious orange juice, and I especially loved when you would set aside a bottle just for me that I could take back to school, or San Francisco, or wherever I was living at the time. Gestures like that and saving state quarters for me showed me that you were always thinking about me even when I was far away from home. I hope everybody is as lucky as me to have an Opa who cares about them so much. I love you!
Love,
Noelle

Dad I miss you everyday. I miss your wit and funny jokes! I miss being able to ask you how to fix things and your advice on Motorhome problems. I will always keep a part of  you in my heart and I will never forget what a great father and Opa you were to me and my kids! You were larger than life and will be greatly missed. I hope you liked the Eulogy I did for you. I wanted to make you proud! I know you are watching out for us and one day we will all be together again. I love you Dad!
                                                                         Your First Poppedyntje,
                                                                                         Ingrid

I will always remember his big warm hugs and how he said "How's my girl?" whenever I came to visit. Opa lived life to the fullest and you never went hungry sitting next to him at the dinner table. Opa, I love you and will cherish the time we spent together. Your joy and creativity will be with me always.

We watched the video. It's was very nice to watch this and share good memories. Hans was a great brother in law. He was funny and very handy. Bep is in our mind en all the children. It is a great lost for the whole family.
We wish you a lot off strenght in this difficult times.

My Opa, was the best grandpa in the world. He put other before his own and I liked that very much. I remember all the times when he played his harmonica or even showed me his old cameras, or even making things in his shed in the backyard. I will cherish those moments forever. Love you Opa!

Opa I will always remember going to the shed to tell you coffee time is ready, I miss that. I'll always remember you draining the spa and watch the jets spray me and noah and whoever else was in the spa away and you would just laugh. I'll never forget the way you would yell hay when we would walk in the house, and at Christmas or birthdays you'd put every bow on top of your head and smile. I will always love you and remember the amazing man you were. Can't wait to see you again someday.  I miss you so much and will never stop loving you. 

Our memories of Hans mostly revolve around his family’s gatherings to celebrate birthdays or milestones.   We were always impressed by how involved he was emotionally and how he would help his family in any way they needed.
We especially loved his humor and feistiness and how he made us feel like part of the family.  He was handsome and playful and amazed us with his dancing ability at Ingrid’s wedding.  His love for and pride in his family was always very evident.
Our hearts ache at his loss and we will never forget him.   We send deepest love and constant support to Alberta and all the family.  Your grief must be huge but he will be with you always.
Love,      Nancy, Dick & Lindsay

Our sincere condolences to you Bepe and your family. Hans will truly be missed by so many people.I want to thank your family for sharing so many amazing memories of him. It was so touching to hear how his journey started and how he brought you here and all his accomplishments! He was such a hard worker but enjoyed his family and life to the fullest.
I will always remember you guys at the soccer club dancing the night away and entertaining everyone with the help of course, of Tante Mina and Ome Siep. 
My Dad always got such a kick out of going to the casinos with you guys but always got a good chuckle of Hans running back and forth to the car to deposit his change or take out more change if needed!! My sister Shirley and I actually got to witness this one time when we met you there!  Hans made several trips back and forth hopefully bringing his winnings! He was a true dutchman, looking out for his wallet.
I'm sorry he had to leave you so soon, but I think I know he is flying around with my Mom and Dad making lots of memories in Heaven!
Take care and we love you!
Mark and Teri Kramer


Dear Beppie and family,
Our deepest condolences in the loss of your husband, father, father in law, Opa and friend. We wish you all strength and courage in this time of grief.
We have happy memories of Hans, "happy go lucky" guy! We enjoyed going to the Holland Soccer Club together, with Hans, Beppie, Siep and Mina, dancing the night away and having fun.
We would also enjoy visits at home, playing cards, having a few drinks and having meals together.  But it was always fun to see Hans' eyes light up, when we unexpectedly joined the four of them at Casino Pauma!  We'd have lunch together in the casino and share the "good and the bad" of our "gambling stories"  which was just pennies on the slot machines. 
Hans will be missed, but lives on in our memories. May he rest in peace!  Fondly, Henny and Tony



Uncle Hans,
You were definitely the best dancer in the family hands down!  You were always in the best of moods and the life of the party.  You always made me laugh, especially when you and my dad got together.  I am going to miss those times.  To Ingrid, Gerard and Margot "Dads hold our hands for a little while but hold our hearts forever".  I am so sorry for your loss.

Daddy I love you more than anything and I miss you every day! I will miss your smile and how you said "Hay" with excitement to see us when we walked in the door. I know you are dancing your feet off in the clouds of heaven and I now we will all be together again some day! 
Your "poppedyntje"
Margot
