We were so sorry to hear about Oom Jan's passing, it's hard to believe he slipped away so quickly. I hope you are all doing ok, I know you each will miss him in your own way. For me, I remember his boisterous laugh and the sheer pleasure he seemed to have when company was around or when he was visiting. As a kid, he always seemed larger than life, he made a point of shaking hands with us kids, even when we were young, when you guys came to visit. An it was such a big deal to travel across the province to visit, what an adventure for us all. Or the excitement in our household when we knew you were coming to our place. My one special memory of your Dad was actually from Dorothy and Pete's wedding, I was in my early teens and your father was convinced that we should have a good time at your reception so he got me up to dance and it was a polka, it was the most energetic trip around the dance floor that I have ever experienced and I remember laughing with him when the song was over even though we were both out of breath. You are in our thoughts and prayers With Love Liz

Dear Family We are so sorry to hear of Oom Jan's passing, We have so many good memories of our visits. One year at your house the next year at our house. We would always guess as to who would all come. I can remember one visit, dad decided we were going to Tante Jo and Oom Jan's, dad put the cap on the back of the 1/2 ton truck added a mattress and 4 kids and off to Kerwood we went. Russ and I arrived at your parents late one night unannounced, your dad greeted us at the door with, hey mom look who it is and then how long are you staying. Even though we didn't each other often I always felt at home there, after all we are FAMILY! It makes me sad to think I will never hear Oom Jan`s deep laugh again. He will be missed by many. Love and Prayers Dorothy and Russel

My condolences to all the family of John Van Dongen. Joanne, Dorothy, Murray, Janey and Harriet... and wow... all the children and grandchildren. I saw John in hospital a few weeks ago... his face lit up when he saw me and he knew my name right away! He was always so glad to see a familiar face. I hadn't seen John this spring on my bike rides that go past their house. I thought the home looked very neat as always, but pretty quiet, so I wondered if your dad was still their. My mom and dad always enjoyed their visits with Joanne and John, as we all did when we were kids and able to spend the day out on the farmland and barns. As my parents got older and unable to travel as easily, John and Joanne still came to visit regularly. They all loved the rousing discussions and story telling that your dad was great for. Even after my dad died, there were a few occasions where we couldn't get a companion for mom for the day. John and Joanne welcomed her with open arms and looked after her. Dorothy, thanks for having Joanne let me know of your dads passing. He really lived a long hearty life after all the heart surgeries and heart disease. Love and Hugs to all Mary and Blair Robertson and Matthew.
