Condolence from Simon Tuijp Dear aunt Jean I know that the passing away of uncle Gerard will always be felt. By you, all my nieces and nephews and your grandchildren. Also from a distance we will miss this gentleman. The last time my brother Sjaak and I visited you, was in May 2001. Ages ago in the meantime. “If you are retired, make sure you do something you enjoy”, uncle Gerard said with a smile on his face. And he pointed to a grass mower where you could sit on. I saw the nice family pictures and I am trying to “connect” the faces and names of all my cousins. Today is uncle Gerard’s funeral. It will be a sad day, but his remembrance will be strong. If I think of him, I automatically get a smile on my face. My wife Monique and I wish you all the best. Simon and Monique Tuijp, Leusden, The Netherlands

Sibert van Leeuwen posted a condolence
Dear all, Uncle "Oom" Gerard was "one of a kind" and me & Marianne have enjoyed his company very much, whenever he was visiting families & friends in his beloved "Holland". Together with Aunt "Tante" Sjaan we have had intensive discussions on both normal way of living in Canada vs The Netherlands and always with a very good sense of humour. If there would have been no covid-19 we would have met - finally - in St. Mary's in combination with a biztrip to Longview, what a pity it never could happen. From a bit of a distance I believe I can honestly say that Gerard has had a very good & long life, with lots of kids and grandchildren around him, and not surprisingly he kept his humour till the very end up to more or less his dying bed, let's remember him that way! "Aren't we having any fun yet". gosh how warm and social you can be.... RIP dear Gerard and sincere condolances to Sjaan, kids, families, grandchildren & friends. Sibert &his wife Marianne van Leeuwen, Sibert is son of Gerard's sister Rie and brother-in-law Bert from Alphen aan den Rijn

Marianne Roelofsen -Poel posted a condolence
Lieve tante Jean, neven , nichten en kleinkinderen , gecondoleerd met het overlijden van onze lieve humoristische oom Gerard. Wij hebben mooie herinneringen aan ons bezoek in Canada bij het 40 jarig huwelijksfeest , samen met vader en ome Cor. 8 dagen waren eigenlijk veel te kort , maar het waren wel hele leuke dagen. De mooiste herinnering was een avond bij ome Gerard en tante Jean waar we veel mooie verhalen hoorden van vroeger ,die soms nog veel mooier werden gemaakt en waarbij vader af en toe buikpijn van het lachen had. Ome Gerard was daar heel goed in. Ook met de bezoekjes in Nederland , vonden wij het heel gezellig met de familie uit Canada. Vaak aten we dan paling , wat we normaal niet kregen. Wij hebben mooie herinneringen aan ome Gerard en wensen jullie allemaal veel sterkte met dit grote verlies. Veel liefs, Piet en Marianne Roelofsen-Poel

Mrs. Poel & Family, Sincere condolences and prayers for you and Gerry. Gerry's warm, welcoming nature and enthusiasm for life was inspiring as was his selfless contributions to our community. I will forever remember him voluntarily cutting the grass at Holy Name of Mary parish at the age of 90! A truly incredible gentleman who will be dearly missed.

Koos Poel posted a condolence
Tante Jean en de rest van de familie Allereerst gecondoleerd met het verlies van ome Gerard. Wij hebben hele leuke herinneringen aan ome Gerard. Zoals op het moment dat wij met Jurre en Romy bij jullie in Canada waren en we met hem in twee dagen bij al jullie kinderen op bezoek gingen voor een borrel, lunch of avondeten. En ook de echte Poelenhumor die hij altijd paraat had. Maar ook als jullie naar Nederland kwamen en hij zo min mogelijk wilde plannen of van te voren afspreken. Het liefste kwam hij zomaar bij iemand plotseling binnenvallen en waar we 's avonds gingen eten, dat zagen we op het eind van de dag dan wel. Nou tante Jean en neven en nichten, Wij wensen jullie veel sterkte de komende tijd. Angelique en Koos Jurre en Kimberly Alex en Romy

Active member of Holy Name of Mary. Loved to see him at coffee Sunday and any of the meals we did for the parish but only if it was a meat and potatoes kind of meal. Your humor will be missed.
