DAMEN: Johannes Ambrosius “John” of Lucan

January 24, 2021 By Haskett Funeral Homes 128 Condolences

DAMEN: Johannes Ambrosius “John” of Lucan

Peacefully with his wife Sadie and daughter Cathy by his side, at LHSC – Victoria Hospital on Saturday, January 23, 2021 of Lucan, at the age of 78. Cherished husband of Sadie (Egan) Damen for 50 years. Proud father of the late Ron Damen (1995), and Cathy and Hiram O’Neil of Lucan. Adoring grandpa of Lilly, and Violet. Dear brother and brother-in-law of Anne and John Van Sas, Bert and the late Jeannine Damen, the late Tony and Carole Damen, Bill and Judy Damen, Harry and Sheila Damen, Mary and Doug Lee, Pat Egan, Jean Scheiring, the late Joan and the late Fern Gauthier, and Mary and the late Sandy McIntosh. Fondly remembered by many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents Bill and Maria Damen.

John was born and raised in Didam, The Netherlands, and at the age of 12, moved to Canada and eventually settled in 1954 on Highway 23 in Biddulph Township. John was a proud farmer all his life, but most of all, he enjoyed his time spent with his family.

A private family funeral service will be held at St. Patrick Catholic Church on Wednesday, January 27th at 11 AM with Father Ross Bartley presiding. Though the service is private, the family invites you to join with them from the comfort of your home. Stream the service live or at your convenience by visiting www.facebook.com/haskettfh.

Donations to the Kidney Foundation, or Jessica’s House would be appreciated by the family.

    I’m sure Uncle John has already found the local coffee shop on Main Street in Heaven. He’s probably sharing a big glass of chocolate milk with Ronnie! (Keeping the budget in mind!) Over-looking the pasture and chatting about the weather. I can’t help but smile just a little when I think of his gentle laugh. The Dutchman will be sadly missed. RIP

    We are so sorry to hear about Uncle John. I will forever cherish my memories of him playing volleyball with us as kids – somehow this always turned into tackle volleyball, and lots of cheating I might add. Uncle John always greeted us with a smile and warm heart every time we saw him. Uncle John and Ronnie are now reunited. I can only imagine how much you will miss him, you are all in my thoughts.
    Hugs to you both,

    Love Amy

    Looking through the family photos you have shared with us, it is so apparent to see how well loved John was…and how much he loved his family. We have been thinking about all the Community gatherings we had at the Whalen pot luck suppers and card parties and all the fun we had with John. He sure did love to tease the ladies! Please accept our sincere condolences and may all your happy memories eventually replace the sadness and sorrow you are dealing with now.
