He is survived by his children Harald Veerman, Ella Moore (Tracy), Peter Veerman (Jen), and 5 grandchildren; Trevor, Brendan, Emily, James and Madeline. He also leaves behind his former spouse Tineke Veerman and many family in Holland including his brothers; Piet (Ella), Ruud (Clema) and sister Dineke (Johan) and many extended family. Dick was born in Boskoop, Netherlands and immigrated to Canada in 1969 where they started their family. Dick and Tineke settled into Port Coquitlam and later moved to 91原创 where they raised their children. Dick spent most of his working years as a Branch Manager at Surrey Credit Union (Coast Capital Savings), and then Gilmar Manor in Coquitlam where he made many friends. Dick was a man of great knowledge, a passionate political mind and had a great love for animals especially his dogs Missy and Maxi. The family would like to thank the Dijkstra and the Vlek family for their loyal friendships and support over the last 8 months. The family would like to send out a special thank you to the Coquitlam Presbyterian Church and the Surrey Hospice for the unbelievable care they provided to Dick and the family. A memorial service is planned for Tuesday March 22 from 2-4 at the Coquitlam Presbyterian Church 948 Como Lake Avenue, Coquitlam.
