Not sure what to say?

I am the brother of Jurren. I will miss him greatly. We did many things together. He will always be in my heart. I have attended the impressive funeral. The church service was comforting. Jurren is now in the hand of his Heavenly Father, and he has it good. We pray for Maria, Joey and Shannon, and Beth and her children. We wish them strength in this great loss.

I am the son of Harry Schoonbeek and therefor Jurren is also my nephew. Jurren visited our familyweekends in Holland. He always collected stamps for me when a was a little boy (10 years). We were always excited when he visited us because he was our big nephew from the States!

When I was diagnosed with Cancer Jurren always was interested in our family and in my situation. He had a special place in our harts.

My condolences to the family and friends. We will pray for...

i worked with jurren in nyc about 15 years ago. one time he brought in his grandson and showed him around the office. myself being near the "grandfather" point in my life, i asked jurren how it felt. without hesitation he replied, "IT FEELS GREAT!". the response immediately had me anxiously waiting the day to be a grand dad. i now have three and will always remember his comment. he was absolutely right.

he always had a great joke to tell as well.

i am very sad to...

I am the son of Jan Schoonbeek, a brother from Jurren. So Jurren is my uncle and also we share the same name. When I was younger, we wrote a lot about mathematics (he taught me trigonometry, etc) and other uncle - nephew things. We wrote about 2 years, I still got his letters. When I got older we stopped writing.

My condolences to Maria, Beth and Joey and also to my father, Bineke, Kees en Corry. To speak with Harold; May God bless you al and give strenght in this time of grief.

I am the son of Harry Schoonbeek and therefor Jurren is my nephew. I had the pleasure of meeting Jurren once. Before that I have never seen or spoken to him. nevertheless, he helped me so much in finding an internship. With one letter and one phone call he created a position for me. Unfortunately, small details prevented this to go on. But for sure I never forgot his help and support!

My condolences to the family and friends. May God bless you all and may the warm en good...

I am a neighbor of Jurren. I am very sorry to hear about his passing. I will always remember what a wonderful and kind man J was.
He always took time to say hello and ask how I was and never forgot to say hello to my little dog Tobi. Tobi was also happy to greet him. I wish this world had more people like him. He will be missed.

Until we meet again in heaven.

My heartfelt sympathy to his family.

Jurren was de oudste zoon van mijn overleden broer, dus een neef. Qua leeftijd verschilden wij niet veel, hij was zo'n 10 jaar jonger dan ik. In de oorlogstijd is Jurren maanden bij ons thuis geweest, terwijl zijn ouders ondergedoken zaten. Daarom heb ik ook een heel speciale band met hem: hij was als een broer voor me.
Ik zal hem dan ook heel erg missen. Wij wensen Zijn vrouw en kinderen veel sterkte toe en Gods zegen voor de nabije toekomst.
Hartelijk gegroet van Fam. Schoonbeek

All of us who worked with Jurren at Schlumberger are deeply saddened by his passing. Jurren was the epitome of that special breed of professionals that makes the Schlumberger finance function stand out from the rest. He was a superb mentor and coach, making people reach their full potential. He will be greatly missed. Our deepest sympathy to the family.

Very sad news, he was so much respected at Schlumberger and tought us so much that it is difficult to think he is gone. And he made a real ambiance that no one in Schlumberger forgot, so great it was.
All my condolences.
