Tony was born on June 1, 1934 at Mander, Overijssel in the Netherlands. He came to Canada on his own, at the age of nineteen, with a dream of farming. Tony spent time in Ontario and Edmonton, before settling in Grand Forks, British Columbia, where he met and married Jenny. In 1967, they moved to Abbotsford, where they dairy farmed, until 1985. Family was very important to Tony. He cared for both Jenny and Gary for many years and took great pleasure in spending time with his daughters and granddaughters. He was immensely proud of them all, and leaves behind beautiful memories. Tony’s sense of humor and the twinkle in his eye will be remembered by all who knew him.
