Sincere condolences to Jackie, Jake and The Breeve Family. We have lots of fond memories of Jake, as well as Theresa. Steve appreciates all he learned when working with Jake. The Gabryelski Family.
Our heartfelt condolences to Jacqueline, Jake and the grandchildren. We will remember Koos (Jacobus) with great fondness. While he was with Beppie (Susanna) these past twenty-odd years he became a grandfather to our children and visited us, with her, many times in their home country of the Netherlands and while travelling elsewhere in Europe. He always enjoyed sharing stories about his youth in Rotterdam or his grandchildren in Canada and he often liked to reminisce about his experiences as a construction supervisor. We will remember him enjoying Dutch music, catching up on his team Feyenoord or watching the Dutch national team while having a Heineken or eating his favourite tampouce pastry. He was a very generous man who was always happy to help others and liked to keep busy all through his retirement. He will be missed and fondly remembered!
Our condolences to Jackie, Jake, and the Pagano family.
We remember ‘uncle’ Jake fondly as a wonderful friend to our family when we were growing up. He taught my sister and I how to drive,, and my brothers a few carpentry skills. He was always so much fun when our families got together for vacations. He had a big personality and a big heart.
He will always be remembered.
