We are saddened by reading Aggie's obituary. Our condolences go to the entire Dewit family.
She was a spunky lady and full,of fun, always willing to help.
We go back a long way from the early Dutch Canadian Club days in the late 70's and early 80's.
With the help of the Dewit family and many others we managed to build the Port of Holland, opened in 1982 by President Nick!
Many years ago Nick told me about their arrival in Canada by boat - upon docking the luggage was brought out onto the pier in alphabetical order. Eagerly they waited, but all the "W' luggage was gone! Until they noticed some luggage at the other end of the pier.. there it was - under "D"! Welcome to Canada!
The family can look back and thank their parents for following their dream - and what a great example they were of settling down and become respected and successful pioneers! Well done and a life well lived!
Sincerely, Glenna and Peter Vanderlinden.
