Rest in Peace, hard-working man

He was one of the most kind and gentle and wise and strong men you will ever be Blessed enough to meet. I wish I had more time with him in this life, but I can see his Legacy personally live on....'till we meet again!

So sorry for your loss, Sjany! Our condolences! Wish you a lot of strength during these hard times. Love you, Lilian, Robert, Jon and Nick.

Mr. DeGroot was a kind, caring man and will be sorely missed by the community and all who knew him. My sympathies go out to his loving family.

Dear Sjany and family:
I first met Rokus when I taught Susie and then later Melissa.
What a happy place the De Groot home is. Sjany and Rokus and Wendy were a light for the children in the home. Now Rokus shines in heaven. I know he will be deeply missed.
My prayers and love are with you.

Dear Peiter and Menny,
I was so sorry to hear about your fathers passing. Although I did not know him, the words that others have written shows he was a very special man. You are in my thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.
Fondly,
Lori Herrera Hurley

I have the pleasure of stating that I knew Rokus for over 30 years. Rarely does someone meet a person as kind and good as Rokus. He will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Sending love, light and strength to the de Groot family. You are in our thoughts.

Lieve Rokus
Je zal altijd in mijn hart blijven als een man die heel speciaal was voor mij. Altijd stond je klaar voor iedereen en het meest opvallende was dat je dat allemaal heel vanzelfsprekend vond. Nooit schepte je op wat je deed allemaal . De kinderen waren dol op je en jij had een engelen geduld. Heb nog nooit gezien dat het je teveel werd. Ik hoop dat je een ere plaats krijgt in de hemel want als jij dat niet krijgt heeft niemand die plaats. Ik zal je missen xxxxxxx
