REITSMA: Tjitte Albertus “Albert”

Posted

reitsma-1

What an amazing, vibrant and fulfilling life I have lived.  With my wife and best friend Elizabeth by my side, I peacefully departed from this world on Wednesday June 28, 2023.

I leave behind by my ‘adopted’ family in Canada; Jenna (Martin), Kyrsten (Cam), Emma (Ryan) and our adorable grand children Nash, Wyatt, and Hazel. To my extended family in Holland; Hilma, Maarten, Mark, Rits, I truly treasure the many memories we have shared. To my many friends I’ve met along the way, I have eternal gratitude for each and every one of you, for enhancing my life and making it so much richer.

To quote Frank Sinatra, “I’ve lived a life that’s full, I’ve traveled each and every highway, but more than this, I did it my way.” With fond memories, I bid thee farewell. The Captain may be gone, but the deep emerald waters of the Severn River flow on in eternity. You remain forever in my heart.  Private family interment will be held at Ramona Cemetery. 

If desired, memorial donations may be made to Mariposa House Hospice and will be received by the Doolittle Chapel of Carson Funeral Home 54 Coldwater Street E., Orillia, Ontario 705-326-3595.
