Centenarian.
Reunited at last with his true love, Helen (2011).

His life was grounded in faith and devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Henri approached the world with child-like curiosity, voraciously reading the news and following history. For most of his 60 years of employment, he relished his work as a landscape-gardener.

Henri instilled in his children the qualities of working hard, accepting responsibility and finding satisfaction in simple living.

Strong yet gentle Father to Patricia and her husband Tom, Tony and his wife Lynda, Dominique, Vincent and his wife Hye Ran, Teresa and her husband Bob; dear Opa of Christopher and his wife Theressa, Shanna and her husband Jim, Benjamin and his wife Nicole, Sarah, Zachary and Paige; delighted Great-Grandfather of Trillian, Eisley, Julianna, Athen, Aria.

Henri was the third son of 16 children. Born in Holland, he emigrated with Helen to Canada in 1950. One brother Piet (Ans) came to Canada, and one sister, Margaret (Frank) moved to Australia. The other siblings remained in Holland.
Predeceased by siblings: Piet, Corrie, Lou, Trudy, Gerard H, Suzanna, Henny, Jack, Gerard M.L., Tony.
