Auke STEENSMA Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 2, 2015.
STEENSMA (Auke ): Passed away peacefully on 30.10.15 just short of his 87th birthday. A greater man we will never know! The most amazing father, father-in-law, Opa, patriarch, mentor, adviser, bank, dancer, friend and all round fun fantastic gentleman. Although he has been lost to us for quite awhile, he will be sadly missed by his 4 kids Auke Jr (JJ), Dirk, Alida and Nene, his children-in -laws, grandchildren and the huge crazy extended circle he proudly called his family xxx
