Mooren, Hendricus Johannes Maria “Henry” 1935 – 2022
Passed away peacefully at Woodlands of Sunset on Saturday, April 2nd 2022, in his 88th year.
Beloved husband of 62 years to Corrie (nee Zandvliet). Dear father to Marcel Mooren (Sandra), Wendy Lament (Ray), Monique Cooper (Mark) and predeceased by his dearest son Craig (2010). Proud Opa of Alexander and Meghan Mooren, Ryan, Kyle, and Austin Cooper, and Corinne and Warren Lament. Henry also leaves behind his extended family in Holland who will miss him dearly.
Born in Liemuiden, Holland in 1935 to Henry and Ann (nee Borst). Survived by siblings Anni, Bert, Ria and predeceased by siblings Anton, Thys, Alli and Cees.
At age 21, Henry spent 16 days travelling to Canada by boat. Once immigrated to Canada, he worked in Simcoe on a tobacco farm. Henry and Corrie married in 1960, and shortly after Henry found a job as a farmer. The two of them bought a farm in Fenwick where they spent their lives together and raised 4 children. As a father Henry was continuously teaching his children the valuable lessons of hard work.
A man of many skills, a sheet metal worker, a handyman, but one of his proudest accomplishments was his farm. The beautiful 40 acre property in Fenwick turned out to hold significant memories throughout his lifetime. For over 50 years Henry and Corrie called this farm their home.
Henry was a talented man, with many traits to offer. The lessons he has taught still shine in his children and grandchildren today.
To our Husband, Father, and Opa; we are thankful for years of laughs, and love that we shared with you. We hope that Heaven is filled with reruns of Toronto Maple Leafs Games, farming days, western films, and everything you love.
The family of Henry Mooren would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to the staff at the Woodlands of Sunset for their care and compassion for Henry while he was in their care.
