Jan van den Berg
1940-2018
It is with great sadness that we share
with you the death of a beloved husband, Pap, Opa and
“Dutchie”.
Jan was born in The Netherlands and
immigrated to Canada, his beloved country, in 1963. Following a
difficult start in the first few years, he led a full and happy life
in his new country, despite his medical limitation.
Jan found total fulfillment in his
professional life when he started working with the Shaw Group in
Moncton. Jan really loved and respected his colleagues and mentors
including Alan and Wayne.
He and Anke, his beloved wife of 51
years, enjoyed cooking, gardening, making wine, smoking salmon,
entertaining friends and sharing stories. Jan was fiercely proud of
his children and grandchildren, especially that his legacy continues
in the van den Berg boys.
He will be missed greatly by his
loving wife, Anke. He was predeceased by his son Hansje. Papa will be
missed by Heidi and Leo, Mike and Jenn, and Mark and Tammy. He will be
missed as Opa to Taeren, Tessa, Elias, Seth, Jakob, Benjamin and
Isaac.
The family would like to send sincere
appreciation to Jan’s Rheumatologist, Dr. Peter Docherty as
well as the wonderful staff in The Moncton Hospital Palliative Care
Wing and the Neurological Intensive Care Unit at the Saint John
Regional Hospital.
A Celebration of Jan’s life
will take place on his birthday, June 30, 2019 with the time and
location to be announced at a later date. Arrangements have been
entrusted to Cobb’s Funeral Home and Cremation Center, 330
Whitepine Rd., Riverview, NB (869-2007). Donations can be made in
Jan’s memory to Friends of The Moncton Hospital Foundation
or The Arthritis Society. Online condolences may be expressed to Anke
and the family at www.cobbsfuneralhome.ca
