Arie VanBlitterswyk

May 5, 2022

Arie VanBlitterswyk, the beloved patriarch of the Van Blitterswyk family, died after a long and hard struggle with cancer on Thursday May 5, 2022. Arie was born on December 20, 1931 in Lisse, Holland. He came to Canada exactly 68 years to the day he died. Arie is survived by his wife, of 67 years, Jopie, his eldest son Bill, (Lorraine) and was predeceased by his son Harry (Sylvia) who died suddenly last November. Arie, known as Opa, was a “family” man who was loved by his four grandchildren, Denise, Arie, Mandy and Ryan and his 3 step grandchildren Shannon, Leanne and Daniel. He is also survived by his 10 great grandchildren…ages 25 to 5. Arie/Opa will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. He was a strong, hardworking man who was with the same company for nearly 50 years. His favourite place to be was his cottage on Cameron Lake which is where his ashes will be scattered as per his wishes. There will no be funeral service and in lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
