HELLINGMAN, John (Johannes)
It is with much sadness and many fond memories, that we announce the passing of our dear dad on Monday, July 6 in his 87th year. Predeceased by his beloved wife, Diny. Much loved father of Tricia of Hamilton and Linda of Charlottetown. Devoted husband to Arlene, and stepfather to Valerie and Randy Bedard. He will be greatly missed by his brother Theo (Meta) Hellingman, sister Ann Vanry (George Beattie), and close cousin Arnold (Anne) Koopman. He will be fondly remembered by many nieces and nephews, friends and neighbours.
John was born in Hilversum, The Netherlands, came to Canada in 1951 and made a good life for his family in the Hamilton/Burlington area.
