Catching up at family events will be different, the kind and gentle man with a warm smile and a big handshake won't be there.
It was Christmas one year at Lancefield (Vic) that I Met Henk and Glenne, He didn't say a lot, but he knew how to say a few words to calm Glenne when she was getting a little 'fired up'.
Sally told me her Aunt and Uncle would be there this time and how stories of their exploits, family etc were told by Ma Ma Gourley and how 'big' the family sounded, their achievements etc. Henk soon set the record straight when the stories were exagerrated a little.
He was always so proud of his kids, the photo work he did on his computer was solid testament to that!
Henk was never the sort to brag or boast of his exploits and achievements, except about his kids!
His presence, warm demeanour and gentle nature will be missed.
Missed? Yes... Forgotten... No.
