Dear Rob, 
I still can't believe we have lost such an amazing man.
I will cherish all my wonderful memories of you. In a way you treated me like a daughter through my life. You regularly kept in contact and helped me to get through the loss of Mum.
Your sense of Humour was your biggest asset and always made me laugh.

I will miss you forever

Sending all my love to the rest of the family to give you strength in the coming months xxx

Oom Rob and Tante Gerrie were 2 of the kindest people I have ever known not just thru words but deeds as well. Their love for their children and grandchildren was evident in every conversation and the care that they showed my parents over many years will never be forgotten.

We are so sorry to hear the passing of Bob. He was a wonderful kind man with a sense of humour.
He loved life and will be missed.
Howard and Lynne Hunter

Dear Victor, Michael, Eric   and family.

The sudden death of your father  Rob came as a great shock to us. We still do not know what to say especially as the death of your mother Gerrie was only a month ago.  
I, Peter Visser  met Rob when we were at school in Nijmegen and we have always kept in touch. When he came home to visit his mother he  always came to see us. In later years we made little trips all together through Europe. We  were invited to come to Canada and stayed with your parents . We had a great time and on another occasion we visited them we spent a very nice holiday together travelling through the Rocky Mountains etc.
We will miss them dearly but we have made some nice memories.
Wishing you all the strength you’ll need ,

Peter & Marilynn Visser
Netherlands

My condolences are with the family.

Amen.

Victor, Michael, Eric and families,
My heartfelt condolences with the loss of your father, so close to Gerry ‘s passing.
I was able to see your mother, and father,  when I was in Ontario some weeks ago and when your mother was in the hospital. We had a nice visit then.

It needs time to get over this big shock and I still don‘t know what to say.
To loose bolth parents in just four weeks is so sad and unbeliveable.
Sending condolences to all of you and keep you in my toughts and prayers.

Rob was a wonderful person with a big heart always funny and ready for jokes.
I liked him so much.
Just like Gerrie he gave me the feeling to be a family member at the time I lived with them.
I am so greatful and thankful to beeing in  touch with them until now after 40 years🙏

For memories I like to share pictures when Rob came visiting us in Switzerland in  March 1996
We had so much fun and years later he still talked about the Fondue with „Kirsch“ Tiziano made for him

Rest in peace together

To the family of Rob and Gerrie van Voorst, I'm so shocked to hear of Rob's death less than a month after Gerrie's.  Rob and Gerrie were so special to us over so many years.  Rob volunteered at Camp Shalom to help out with the grounds and other tasks.  Gerrie generously supported our projects in West Africa.  They were great next-door neighbors to my parents, and I got to know them better in the last 10 years as I visited often.  They were always willing to lend a helping hand, had a great sense of humor, and so sociable.  My husband and I had a lovely lunch with Rob and Gerrie in January at a local restaurant.  It's so hard to imagine that they are both gone now.  We are heartbroken for their loss.  The Lord gives and takes away - blessed be the name of the Lord.  Love, Nancy Drost and Siapha Kamara
