Hugh & I first met Tony & Fran in 2001 at Castaways on a Wednesday night. We quickly became close friends & decided Grand Bend was where we wanted to retire. Tony & Hugh enjoyed their martinis together one straight up with gin & the other on the rocks with Vodka. After our accident Tony always kept Hugh up to date on the coffee shop news which he appreciated
very much. Tony & Fran have been a great support for me after Hugh’s passing in 2021. My thoughts & prayers are with all the Relouw family at this difficult time. Tony will be missed by all.

“Unne gôje mins blief altiéd laeve”
After Tony, or Ton from aunt Lies, went to Canada in 1950, he often returned to his native region. Because that is where his earliest memories were. Also on the Bakhei in the Boekend. He loved coming back to his family, with whom he had a very close relationship.
He also loved the small communities and the solidarity between the people he saw here. Every time he enjoyed it. It is a pity that this will not happen again. We all share our memories of these times with him. We wish Francis, the children and the grandchildren a lot of strength with this great loss.
Leny, Jo, Chris and Petra, Ton and Nelly and Hen from aunt Leen and uncle Sjaak

My sincere condolences to all the Relouw family.

Aunt Fran, Doug and Sukalaya, Mark and Patty, Sandra and Andrea, and your families:

Sending my heartfelt condolences at the loss of a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. His deep love of family lives on in all of you.

I have many fond and fun memories of time spent at the Relouw’s growing up, such as barbecues, swimming in the pool, and hanging out with all the cousins. Uncle Tony always had a warm and ready smile. He also had a mischievous side: he enjoyed telling the story of how he sat behind Fran in grade school, and would pull on her pigtails. I wonder if he knew then that she would become the love of his life!

May you rest in peace, Uncle Tony.

– Trish Menheere

Mark, Patty and family, our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I remember when Matt and I joined the cruising club that Uncle Tony founded. I wanted to try wine but didn’t know what to buy. I knew he was an expert on many topics so I asked him. He explained the various types so well. Later on, Aunt Fran and Uncle Tony would save their bottles for my son to collect the deposit from. It’s a sweet memory.

Sending our sincere condolences to Sydney and the whole Relouw family. May all the happy memories of your grandfather bring you continued comfort. Thinking of you.
