January 13, 2025
Henricus Jacobus (Henk) Oudshoorn of Goderich, died Monday, Jan. 13, 2025, surrounded by family, at the Alexandra Marine and General Hospital in Goderich. He was 73. Born June 23, 1953, in Mijdrecht, (the Netherlands), he met his wife, Jansje, in 1979 and they have been together ever since. Henk was a farmer from the start which brought on many passions, but nothing was greater than his wife and four daughters. He was a true handyman at heart, with a love for airplanes, soccer, weather, puzzles, woodworking, and all things related to agriculture. He was never afraid to work hard and learn new things. Henk was known as a quiet man, with a witty sense of humour. He was a man of faith who loved his family endlessly, and showed his support in everyone’s interest. We will always remember his patient and calm nature, and the twinkle in his eye when he would smile. Beloved husband of Jansje. Loving papa of Karin (Andrew), Petra (Erik), Moniek (Brendon), and Hilda (Geert). Proud Opa of Brayden, Danny, Jesslyn, Jake, Brendan, Hailey, Mason, Dax, Michael, Lukas and ??. Cherished brother of Wil (Kees), Ria (late Jan), Anneke, Ada (Jan), Cor (Jozien), Peter (Marita) and Nico (Dita) and the late Jan and Theo Oudshoorn. Predeceased by his parents, Piet and Jo Oudshoorn. A private cremation ceremony has taken place. A service to remember our husband, papa, and opa and celebrate his life, will be held Jan. 23, 2025, at 11 a.m., at The Harbour Church, Kincardine.
