Together with his wife Klaasje they immigrated to Canada in 1953. Shortly thereafter, they moved to Ajax, where they made their home. &quot;Henk&quot; possessed a strong work ethic and was a proud employee of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, where he worked for 36 years until his retirement in 1990. He enjoyed watching hockey, especially the Toronto Maple Leafs, and soccer. He was an avid bowler and loved to walk.
