It is with both sadness and hopefulness that we announce the passing of our father, Garry Postma, into the presence of Jesus, his Saviour, on September 8, 2020, at the age of 82.

He is survived by three siblings: Grietje Spoelstra (t-Harm), Jeltje Postma (t-Henk), Truida Smid (Co). Predeceased by brother, Thys Postma (Maartje), and sister, Tina Otten (Stoffer). Also survived by five brothers-in-law: Ben Vissers (Marilyn), Han Vissers (Alice), Herb Vissers (Martha), Bill Vissers (Barb), John Vissers (Joan). Predeceased by brother-in-law, Martin Vissers and sister-in-law, Willy Vissers. Dad settled in the Ancaster area and developed a reputation as a skillful home-builder and finishing carpenter. Dad was known and loved as organist, for over sixty-six years, of the congregations of Ancaster and Brantford Free Reformed Churches. By God's grace Dad was a quiet model of Christ-likeness and a devoted father, grandfather and great-grandfather to: Jeff and Sandy Postma (Vanessa and Tyler DeGraaf and Eli, Calvin, Melanie and Billy Martens and Kent, Sonia(friend, Josh Pennings), Alana); Mike and Julie Postma (Nikki and Drew Tarleton, Sean, Alex, Amanda); Diana and Larry Westerveld; Philip and Renata Brokking (Amber (friend,Jaden Hamstra), Reuben, Kurtis); Kevin and Samara Postma (Jael, Levi, Jase).
