With sadness and hope we share that Richard Verheul of Shalom Gardens Apartments in Grimsby has entered into the presence of his Lord and Saviour. Richard was born in Bleiswyk, Holland and immigrated to Stoney Creek, Ontario in the year 1951.
In 1952 he married Leny Rodenburg ( t 1979) and together they settled and began their life together in Hamilton, Ontario. They later moved to Burlington, where Richard spent his working life and much of his retirement until moving to Shalom Gardens in 2018. He was a humble man, a gentle man and an encourager who lived his life in a positive and hope filled way.
He leaves behind a family who he loved and cared for deeply. He will be deeply missed, but not forgotten by his son Brian & Nanda Verheul – Grimsby and grandchildren Janine & Scott Vedder (Emma, Jonah & Mateo), Erin & Derek Meester (Myah & Lily) and Aileen & Peter Turner.
As a family we want to express our appreciation and thanks to the staff of Shalom Gardens for their loving support during the 3 ½ years that he lived there. We are also grateful to the medical team at West Lincoln Memorial Hospital who provided thoughtful, compassionate and complete end of life care.
A private family service will take place at STONEHOUSE-WHITCOMB FUNERAL HOME, Grimsby, 905-945-2755, on Friday, December 17, 2021 at 1:30 p.m. The service will be livestreamed and a link to the service will be available on the Funeral Home website.
