An open house honouring Wim’s life will be held at Clayburn Hall in Abbotsford (4315 Wright St.) on October 4, 1pm-4pm, where family and friends will gather to celebrate his life and legacy.
It is with deep love and sadness that we announce the passing of Willem (Wim) Hoogenraad, our beloved father, grandfather and great grandfather.
Willem passed away peacefully August 16, 2025 at Mt. Ida Mews in Salmon Arm. He is survived by 4 children; Ingrid Bastiaansen (Bert), Eric Hoogenraad (Lisa), Marcel Hoogenraad (Linda) and Jeanette Grant (Dean), 13 grandchildren and 28 great grandchildren. Wim was predeceased by his loving wife Johanna with whom he shared married life for 63 years.
Wim was born in the Netherlands on June 13, 1931 and immigrated to Canada with his wife Johanna and two children (Ingrid and Eric) in 1966. They returned to the Netherlands in 1967 and after having two more kids (Marcel and Jeannette) returned to Canada in 1974, along with Ingrid’s fiancé Bert.
Wim has been a craftsman all his life, working in heavy construction, millwork and finishing carpentry on many projects both in Europe and in Canada. He retired in 1994 with the Abbotsford School District where he worked on improving school buildings with new furniture and cabinetry. Even after retirement, he was always busy working on many different wood crafts, as well as stamp collecting, drawing and could be found entertaining people with guitar and song. He and Johanna also enjoyed many days of travel throughout Europe and many parts of North America. Wim built a life defined by hard work, craftsmanship, and generosity of spirit. A true craftsman, he could see beauty and possibility in raw material, shaping wood into works of art. Those who were fortunate enough to know him, will remember his kindness, zest for life, his ability to face challenges head on, his perseverance, work ethic and care for detail. He leaves behind a legacy not only of beautiful craftsmanship, but of family, friendship, and love.
An open house honouring Wim’s life will be held at Clayburn Hall in Abbotsford (4315 Wright St.) on October 4, 1pm-4pm, where family and friends will gather to celebrate his life and legacy.

November 27, 1963 – August 14, 2025
at the age of 61 years:
Guus Mannes, passed away on August 14, 2025, at the young age of 61. Born in 1963 in Amsterdam, Holland, Guus was fiercely proud of his Dutch heritage. He lived a vibrant life filled with passion, kindness, and a love for adventure, camaraderie, and the open road.
A journeyman auto mechanic by trade, Guus had a gift for bringing engines to life, and could diagnose and fix any vehicle he came across. Beyond the garage, Guus was a self-taught computer guru, always tinkering with the latest tech, solving problems, and sharing his knowledge with anyone who asked. His curiosity and ingenuity made him a master of both machines and motherboards.
Motorcycles were his other love. One of his favourite memories was fixing the transmission on the side of the road while on a motorcycle trip to California with his father. The wind in his hair and the rumble of the engine were his truest joys, second only to the company of good friends. Guus was the life of any party, with his infectious laugh and quick wit as he swapped stories late into the night.
Above all, Guus’s kind heart defined him. He had a soft spot for cats, often rescuing strays and ensuring they had a warm place to call home. His generosity extended to everyone he met—friends, neighbors, and strangers alike—always ready with a helping hand or a kind word.
Guus is survived by his beloved sister, Diana Mannes (Glen), nephew Christopher Mannes, niece Audrey Crouser, stepsisters Lori, Cindy and Leslie, and cherished friends.
The family extends their thanks to the care aides and all those who helped Guus with the health challenges that plagued him during his last few years.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the local animal shelter in Guus’s name.
Ride on, Guus—you’ll forever be in our hearts.
