    Cathy and family,
    So sorry to read about the passing of your dear husband/father/grandfather, Theo. My thoughts are with you at this time. May pleasant memories bring you peace.
    I read the obituary too late to be able to take Dad (Harry Slegers) to the visitation or funeral. I told him today and he would have liked to go.
    I enjoyed visiting with you and Theo at Strathmere Lodge a couple times. I had ordered a book about the Kenilworth Catholic Church through the library where I work. Dad and I delivered the book and picked it up. Theo was very happy to have the book and to read it. He also enjoyed sharing stories with Dad on those two visits.
    May he Rest In Peace.
    Cathy Slegers-Martin

    We are sorrowful now your hushband and father has died. He was a very striking person, with own opinions and a strong will. He has done a lot for To and for the future of his children and deserves thanks for his permanent effort for others.
    We pray for him and for you all and especially for To.
    Thank you for your information about his illness and the funeral.
    All the best for you all,
    Bea and Theo Strous-Corsten

    Dear Mary and families, I was sorry to hear that Theo had passed away. I hadn’t seen him in years, not since he was at the apartment building in Lucan when Jff lived there. But I remember him well from working on the farm. I think you only had 3 or 4 children then. My condolences to you all.
