It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Arie Verhagen on Sunday, August 14th, 2022, at Hospice Quinte at the age of 93. Arie was predeceased by his forever love, his wife, of 68 years Ineke Verhagen of Carrying Place, Ontario, and his brother Joop Verhagen of Harleem, Netherlands. Arie is survived by his daughter Saskia Verhagen of Carrying Place, Ontario; son Greg Verhagen and daughter-in-law Connie Verhagen of Tallahassee, Florida; brother in law Auto Hooning of Haarlem, Netherlands; grandson Dalton Verhagen and his wife Myriam both of Eschborn,
Germany; and granddaughter Nicole Verhagen of Orlando, Florida.
Arie was born in Haarlem, Netherlands on October 7th, 1928. He married his lifelong sweetheart, Ineke on June 23rd, 1953. They immigrated to Canada and settled in Hamilton, Ontario that same year. Together they built a long and good life of amazing memories together. Arie loved his gardening including his Zen Garden of which he was so proud. When he wasn’t working outside, he was building something inside using his accomplished skills in carpentry. Also, of great enjoyment to him was the arts and a passion for great movies.
Arie loved his family and has left them with a trove of memories from family art, great stories, photographs through to a memoir of his years in Holland through the WWII to their move to Canada. He will be missed but never forgotten by those he loved and who loved him.
A private Celebration of Life Service will be held in the funeral home at a later date. Arrangements have been entrusted to the RUSHNELL FUNERAL HOME 60 Division St., Trenton (613-392-2111). To leave a condolence, please visit www.rushnellfamilyservices.com
