On Tuesday January 7, 2019, our beloved John went home to be with the Lord and his Savior Jesus Christ. John was born in the Netherlands and came to Canada in 1948. He spent most of his life in Hamilton. He is predeceased by his parents, his sisters Truus, Gertrude, and brother Simon. He will be missed by his sister Evelyn Klok in B.C, his sister-in-law Jean Kistemaker in Florida and numerous nieces and nephews throughout Canada and the U.S. We are strengthened by John’s very strong faith and dedication to the Lord. A special thank you to the devoted staff at Baywoods Place, especially the compassionate team on the 3rd floor. You have given John much comfort. A visitation will be held at the Marlatt Funeral Home & Cremation Centre (615 Main Street East, Hamilton) on Monday January 14, 2019 from 10-12pm and a funeral service will follow.
