Dank U, Oom Jan, for the wonderful memories of letting us climb with you to the "tree house" in the church to play the organ in Kantens, Grogingen. I was maybe 5 or 6 and, 60+ years later, I can still remember how amazed I was by the beautiful music you played. May you play forever in God's Great House.
