VERWOERD, Hendrik (Henk) Diederik

(Jason) Versluis; his precious grandchildren Justin, Alisa, Derek (Sarah), Kiera, Joshua Adam, Kajsa, Rebecca, Emma, Eric, Jillian, and Connor Venhuizen; Helen Verwoerd; and Christian and Christina Venhuizen. Henk will be missed by his large extended family. A Celebration of Life will be held at Fleetwood Christian Reformed Church (9165 – 160 St) Monday, Sept. 5, 2016 at 11:00 am. In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to Langley Hospice Society.
