Bill Lensink Obituary
On January 28th, following a second major stroke, William (Bill) Lensink went to be with the Lord. Bill was in his 93rd year. “So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” (Psalm 90:12)
Bill was predeceased by his wife Jane of 68 years (April 2022) and is survived by his children – Martin & Linda, and Homer & Marian – and grand-children Anna, Neil and Sheryl, Esther and Kris, Alan and Larisa, Matthew, Stephen and Brooke, & Jonathan and Lisa. Bill was also blessed with 14 great-grandchildren.
Bill and Jane were born and raised in Haarlo, a small farming village in Gelderland, The Netherlands where they enjoyed a common church, school, and neighbourhood. As a youth, he was smitten by machinery and technology, and by the local blacksmith’s daughter! The post-war immigration wave brought Bill and his fiancé Jane to southern Ontario, where Bill began his 40-year heavy equipment maintenance management career at Stelco.
While always pleasant and smiling, in his quiet but determined manner Bill accomplished much. He was deeply involved in his local church – Sunday School, leadership teams, teaching Bible Study, offering pastoral care. Bill was on the founding committee that built Camp Shalom/Countryside Camp, a kids summer camp in Cambridge still thriving 2 generations later. Virtually single-handedly he built the family home in West Flamborough, and then over the next 25-years crafted an epic set of fieldstone retaining walls on the ravine property.
Bill was a righteous follower of Jesus, assured of his faith and his certain eternal home. Visitation will take place at MOUNTAINVIEW CHURCH, 290 Main Street East, Grimsby, ON, on Friday, January 31st, from 6:00 – 8:00 P.M., with a Celebration of Life at the church on Saturday, February 1st, at 11:00 A.M., with a light lunch to follow. A private family interment will take place later in the afternoon at White Chapel Memorial Gardens, Hamilton. Donations in Bill’s memory can be made to Countryside Camp & Conference Centre (See below).
The livestream link for the service can be found below events on this webpage.
