Antonius “Tony” Rommens
1929-2017
It is with deep sadness that we announce
the passing of our father and Opa, Antonius
“Tony” Rommens, 87, of Riverview and formerly
of Melrose, NB on Saturday, July 1, 2017. Born in Wouw,
Holland, Tony was a son of the late Cornelis and Anna Maria (Dekkers)
Rommens.
Tony was a respected dairy farmer,
having immigrated to Canada in 1956 and established the Roga Farm in
Melrose in 1959 with his wife, Mien. He was proud of his
registered purebred Holsteins and was a member of Holstein Canada, as
well as the NB Milk Producers and Chignecto Soil and Crop
Associations. He was also a long time member of the St. Bartholomew’s
Roman Catholic Church, Melrose.
Tony had a warm smile for everyone and
was a dedicated family man with deep love for his children,
grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He was a proud Canadian. He was
an expert with hand tools and a terrific problem solver with ability
to fix anything. His favourite advice was “put the
can’t away, and do it.”
Tony will be missed by his children, Con
(Rose) Rommens, Melrose, Johanna Rommens, Toronto, Mary (Bob)
Sanderson, Riverview, Annette (David) Burridge, Fort St. John, BC,
Anthony Rommens, Oakville, and Melissa (Adrian) Desbarats, Emyvale,
PE; and; eleven grandchildren, three great grandchildren; his siblings
Jo, Geert, Jan, and Frans; many nieces and nephews.
Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his loving wife of
over sixty years, Adriana “Mien” (van Gaans); his siblings,
Willem, Kees, Cor, Marie, Janus, Piet, and Sjef.
