May 18, 1928 – May 13, 2018
Joyful until the end, ‘Wim’ went to be with the Lord on May 13, 2018. Surrounded by many family members in his home in North Vancouver, Wim leaves behind his wife of 60 years Elizabeth ‘Els’, and children Ron, Eric (Elena), John (Andrea), Linda (Ivan), and Paul (Amanda). Opa’s 8 grandchildren are Matthew, Noah, Hannah, Joah, Ethan, Daniel, Fiona, and Lukas.
Wim is survived by siblings in Holland: Ria and Toos and predeceased by his parents Catharina and Louis, and his siblings Marius, Henri, and Jet.
Dad was a man of great faith and he had a passion to share the love of Jesus with whoever would listen. ‘We will all miss you Dad, until we meet again.’
