JOHNNORBERT LEO GRAGTMANS

JOHN NORBERT LEO GRAGTMANS October 10, 1930 – July 18, 2016 We are saddened by the passing of our father, John Norbert Leo Gragtmans. He died peacefully at home. John and his wife Loeky immigrated to Canada from Holland in 1956. John was a teacher for many years at Northview Heights Secondary School. We are joyous in the celebration of his full life. John’s deep love for God and his Son, Jesus, was reflected strongly in all elements of his life. His belief was a bedrock and a beacon of light for all those whose lives he touched. John was a man of great humility who proclaimed his thanks to God. He will be greatly missed. May he go in peace. John is survived by Loeky, his beloved wife of 60 years, six of his seven children: James, Paul, Annemieke, Karin, Jane and Ian, 16 grandchildren and 9 great- grandchildren. He joins his son, Philip and his granddaughter Joy, in Heaven. Donations may be made to Regina Mundi Home of the Magnificat (reginamundimagnificat.com/ donate).
