Tony moved to Canada with his family from the Netherlands at the age of 3. He attended a one-room schoolhouse in Hullett Township and finished Grade 12 at Central Huron High School.
Tony and his family were dairy farmers, and from a young age he learned the value of hard work, an appreciation for spending time outdoors, and the importance of keeping tight-knit family connections – principles he maintained throughout his life.
Tony was a lifelong carpenter who enjoyed constructing barns, renovating homes, creating furniture and displaying museum artifacts. Tony had an adventurous spirit and loved travelling, whether it be pulling a trailer to Alaska, snowmobiling in northern Ontario and Quebec, camping with family or going to Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean with friends and family. He was an avid reader. Tony lived his life as a follower of Jesus, modelling love, patience and gentleness to everyone he met. He was a dedicated volunteer with various organizations.
Tony has left his family and friends with many great memories. He will be dearly missed.
