Gecondoleerd met het overlijden van Kees Kaptein. Kees was getrouwd met mijn nicht Jeany. Kees en Jeany zijn verschillende keren bij mijn vader en moeder ( Henk en Janny Aalders – Hamminga ) in Nederland geweest. Ook ben ik in Canada bij hen op bezoek geweest.
We wensen jullie heel veel sterkte met dit verlies.

I would like to express my condolences to my Canadian family for the loss of Ome Kees. A lot of strength!
Cindy and I are sad to see the passing of Oma Kees (and Tante Jeany).
Mom told us fun stories of her little brother in the old country before most of the clan moved to Canada. I always enjoyed any time we spent with our London relatives whether it was in Sarnia, London or on Manitoulin Island.
Rest in Peace
Kees was my uncle. Such an interesting and kind man, lots of stories to tell. I always enjoyed chatting with him and listening to his strong Dutch accent. He will be missed. My condolences to my cousins and the rest of his family.
