Nelly, Barney & Ellen, Our condolences to you and your families. Jan always seemed to be able to see the bright side of life. I remember him as a gentle bear of a man and I was honoured to have him as my godfather. Tara remembers him chatting with and entertaining her father while they waited for our wedding to commence.

Lieve familie, hier ver vandaan❤️In gedachten zijn we bij jullie. Heel veel sterkte en kracht toegewenst met het gemis van jullie opa en vader en onze lieve, fijne, humoristische ome Jan💖✨Elisabeth, Oepie, Lola, Jimi en Vayèn

We only knew John a short time, but what a powerful impact he made on all of us. If ever a man exhibited all of the fruit of the Spirit - love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, it was John. A great sense of humor and a sharp wit made every visit a lot of fun. Although, your hearts must be heavy at this difficult time we rejoice in knowing that John is with Jesus, sharing stories and spreading joy in heaven. Warmest regards as we hold you all in our prayers.
Andrew, Tracey, Myles and Madison Beni
I will always remember Uncle John's contagious smile that could light up a room. That and the way he could make you smile or laugh. He will be so missed. Much love and comfort to all of you for your loss.

Woorden schieten te kort, een man met een liefdevol hart en humor heeft zich toevertrouwd in de armen van god. Mooie herinneringen met elkaar gemaakt, in real life maar ook via videobellen. Die herinneringen blijven voor altijd in mijn hart. Thankyou for being one of the best uncle in my life. Rust zacht lieve Ome Jan. I love you for ever and you are always in my mind. Until we meet again.
Richtje Marijke Mud
