Anyone who saw his work knew that he was an excellent craftsman. Quality was at the forefront whether it was in his home or yours. He treated it all the same. Henk was a caring and generous man. Both Henk and Hennie always made you feel welcome in their home. I feel pretty lucky to have known them. I will always have fond memories of them. All my best to the family. You have lost two wonderful souls. They are together now in eternal happiness.

We have so many good memories of Henk & Hennie. Spending the day with Mama & Papa and going to their home. I loved Henks laugh and he loved to sing, and Hennie's good Dutch soup. They will be missed. My heart and prayers go out to his children and grandchildren. Gary & Margaret Morrow & family

We met Henk while when he came to tile our kitchen 13 years ago. He was always so kind and helpful. We did some of the tile work ourselves and he very generously taught us how to lay tile as well as loaned us his tile saw while he was on vacation. We have wonderful memories of his kindness and giving spirit.

I'm very sorry to hear of Henks passing. I worked with him many years ago in Marysville. He was what everyone should model themselves to be. Didn't know Henk well .but he made an memorable impression. good good man
