Dear Debby...Jaap passing is a huge shock to Bev and myself. I had no idea he was ill. He was fantastic to work with, kind considerate and interested in you. I will never ever forget the retirement party he arranged for me. We both participated together in Curling and went Biking together many times. I will miss him very much. My sincere sympathy and condolences to you and your family Dave & Bev Rush

Jaap was an outstanding teammate at Emco. He was not only a colleague, but a dear friend as well. I will remember his wonderful, contagious laugh. What a great human being he was. I had the privilege of travelling and cycling with Jaap, and what fun we had ! My last ride with him was in Niagara Fall in 2018. Chantale et moi voudrions exprimer à Deborah et à tous ses proches nos plus sincères condoléances. Roger
