GUSTAEVEL: Rolf of London

September 29, 2025 By Haskett Funeral Homes 5 Condolences

GUSTAEVEL: Rolf of London

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Rolf Gustaevel of London, Ontario, who left us peacefully to be reunited in heaven with his beloved wife, Barbara.

Rolf devoted his life to his family and to his craft as a carpenter, building not only with his hands but also with his heart. Known for his hard work, quiet strength, and love for those around him, he leaves behind a legacy of kindness, dedication, and warmth.

He will be dearly missed by his daughter, Janisse Zimmerman, and her husband, Jim Zimmerman, his son, Grant Gustaevel, and his cherished grandchildren, who were a constant source of pride and joy in his life.

Rolf’s memory will live on in the love of his family and the friendships he nurtured. Though our hearts ache, we take comfort in knowing he is once again with Barbara, the love of his life.

We will miss you, Rolf, but your love and example will remain with us always.

Donations to the charity of your choice would be appreciated by the family.

Offer Condolence for the family of GUSTAEVEL: Rolf of London
