We are deeply sorry to hear about uncle John passing away.
Our deepest sympathy to you and your family for the loss of your husband, your father and grandfather.
Uncle John will be missed very much and even though 89 is a wonderful age, it is always hard losing someone you love.
What remains are memories, lots of beautiful memories.
I’m glad that I could visit uncle John a few years ago with my mother for the last time, I’m sure he leaves behind
a great close family.
We wish you all the strength you need now to go through this hard time and hope that all the beautiful memories can support you.
We are thinking of you.
When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure

Dear Vanderloo Family:
From all the messages already sent I can see what a fine man your father, grandfather, and great grandfather was. I know this also because of the fine Vanderloo family that I know personally.
Thank you for sharing the slide show of photographs. It was a joy to look at them – especially the old photographs which are an absolute treasure.
Please accept my condolences on losing such a man and I hope you find comfort in the many memories that I’m sure you must have.

Eric van der Loo (Switzerland)
Dear Family VANDERLOO in Canada, relatives and beloved ones to my uncle John, brother of my father Martin and brother in law of my mother Anny van der Loo-Philips, residing in the Netherlands,
Herewith, I on behalf of my wife Enikö and our 3 sons ( Erik, Enrico and Egon), would like to express our heartfelt condolences to you all for the passing away of John, your father, your grand-father, your beloved family member and friend. I remember and will continue to remember John, as a man with a gigantic heart, who had great difficulty to “sit-still” and was someone that regardless of whatever head-wind he encountered, he always managed to continue to see the bright-side of life. John has left behind a more than wonderful family. A family that has already set their own hallmarks for a better world, and surely will continue to do so. THANK YOU JOHN for all the good that you have done!! Rest in peace! We wll never forget you!
Ian & Joan Carter
Our sincere condolences and sympathy go out to the entire family on the death of your father, John. Please know that you will be in our prayers at this difficult time, and we are thinking of you in the coming days. Love, Ian & Joan
