THEODORE “THEO” BAKKER Dad left us peacefully on August 19, 2016 after a brief illness. He had a long and full life with our Mom (Margaret, nee van Drie), who he missed terribly since her passing and was happy to be reunited with her. He leaves behind Joanne, Jim, Betty (Rick) and Anthony (Karen). His five grandchildren, Jason (Kristen), Daniel (Alicia), Yvonne, Katrina (Adam) and Sarah, will remember their Opa with great love and affection. He was a constant presence in their lives, eager to hear of all that was going on with them. His great-granddaughter Erin was among the joys of his final year and her visits always brightened his days. Also mourning Dad’s passing are David and Janet Bell, the extended Bakker and van Drie family in the Netherlands, Australia, Brazil, Germany and Norway as well as family and friends in Canada. Friends and family will be received at the Ward Funeral Home, Brampton Chapel, 52 Main St. S. (Hwy. 10), Brampton, on Wednesday, August 31, 2016 from 7-9 p.m. with a Memorial Service at St. Jerome’s Roman Catholic Church on Thursday, September 1, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. Cremation has already taken place. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations made in Theo’s memory to The Kidney Foundation of Canada, the Heart & Stroke Foundation, or The Arthritis Society.
