Anthonius Jacobus Meyers

      It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our father and husband Tony.  He is survived by his wife Hendrika of 69 years, and his children Tina, Henry (Trish), and Jason (Corinne).  Very proud Opa of Steven, Jay, Nathan, Coltin, and Kayla.  Predeceased by older sister Maria “Auntie Rita” .

     Tony and Hennie along with their six-month-old daughter immigrated in 1956 from Rotterdam, Holland to join his sister and her family in Canada and in turn chose to settle in Woodstock Ontario.  He was well known in the community through his position as Automotive Mechanic at Yates Motors where he worked for 23 years.  Tony went on to work for Thames Valley School Board when the shop closed.  His love for soccer directed him to join the Ingersoll Flyers Soccer Club where he played for many years as a competitive and determined goalkeeper. 

     A private family Service will be held.  Memorial donations to the Ingersoll Flyers Soccer Club and the Woodstock Hospital are appreciated.

Wareing Cremation Services, 225 Norwich Ave., Woodstock, Ontario was entrusted with Final Arrangements.  Your messages of remembrance and condolence may be shared hereat wareingcremation.ca
