Furniture maker sadly missed

GREETINGS! I would like
to start this new year by
sending best wishes to
everyone near and far. |
wish for good health and
happiness to all.
Unfortunately, I have to

start with a sad note this —

year. A very good friend,
Herman van den Hende,
passed away Dec, 13 sud-
denly after a very short
battle with cancer. Herman
had lived in Terrace since
1952.

Herman was born July 10,
1920 in Aude Pekela, Hol-

land. He came from of fam- ..
ily of eight children — four de

boys and four girls.

Herman grew up in Hol-
land, and when he finished
school he took a special car-

pentry course, becoming a

furniture maker.

He worked alongside his
father, who was also a car-
penter. Together the two
built churches and furniture.

In 1947 Herman met his
wife, Alida Maria. Both
were members of the church
choir.

On August 28,
Herman and Alida married
at the St. Joseph Catholic
Church in Groningen, Hol-
jand. This would have been
their 49th year of marriage.

The couple moved to Can-
ada in 1952 with their
— young daughter ~— Leidi.

Herman's sister Emma and
her husband Tom Julseth
were already living in Ter-
race, so they lived with
them for the first
months in their home on
Kalum St.

Herman and Alida bought
the property next door to the
Julseths and built a home at
2510 Kalum, where Alida
still lives today.

When Herman first came
to Terrace he worked in the
Sande Lumber Mill. Later
he switched jobs and went
to work at Terrace Transfer,
owned by Tom Julseth.

Eventually he started his
own business, making furni-
ture and doing carpentry
jobs.

_ Alida was busy working
for several local doctors,
cleaning their offices.

When be wasn’t working
Herman was a busy
volunteer al the Catholic

Church, and he also sang in
the chair.

Herman also built several
large boats, one for Dr. Lee
and a sailboat for Charlie
‘Adams’ son.

If you ever had the chance
to visit Charlie and Alida,
you would have seen the
wonderful  furniture- he
made, so proudly displayed
in their home.

Herman’s funeral service
was held on Dec, 16 al the
Sacred Heart Church. Father
John Smith officiated.

Herman is survived by
loving wife, Alida, daughter
Leidi of Prince George and
grandchildren Brad and Car-
son. He is also survived by
three sisters, one sister-in-
Jaw, numerous nieces and
nephews and many friends.

And now I'd like to ex-
press my sorrow to Alida
van den Vende at the loss of
her husband.
