Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryJOE (JOOST) SAMSOM It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Joe (Joost) Samsom on Wednesday, November 28, 2012 at the age of 84 years. Dad was born in Vinkeveen, Holland on November 21, 1928. The oldest of 10 children born to Nickolas and Aagje Samsom, he immigrated to Canada in 1946 at age 18. Dad had attended agricultural school in Holland prior to coming to Canada. He worked on a farm in the Little Britain area for some time and saved enough to invest in land in the Anola area. There he met and later married Dorothy Juanita Buss on July 3, 1954. Together, Mom and Dad raised their family of six children and through much hard work, built the home placed into a successful dairy farm. It was a very busy time for hardworking people in an era when everyone knew their neighbours and all lent each other a helping hand when needed. Dad assisted many a neighbour with his expertise with livestock. In turn many friends, neighbours and extended family were always there to lend a hand when needed on the farm. Dad loved to square dance and play cards with his many friends and neighbours. He enjoyed singing in the church choir, curling and gardening. He would visit his family back home in Holland yearly when possible and often had visitors from Holland. He enjoyed people and kept very busy after retirement with his many interests. Sundays were always the day when the whole family would congregate at Dad's. He enjoyed having a full house and everyone was always welcome. Dad was predeceased by his son Robert, his wife Nita, his sister Annie and his brother in-law Co. Dad is survived by his brothers and sisters: Wim (Pie), Rika, Jan (Mary), Aagje (Gert), Willy (Piet), Janny (Dirk), Nico (Jenny), Arie (Susan) and brother-in-law Brem, as well as numerous nieces and nephews and family in Holland; his children Nick (Helga), Thelma (Joe), William (Debbie), Bev (Greg), and Diane (Dwayne); grandchildren Nicole (Richard), Michael, Samantha (Adam), Judy (Harley), Rene (Shannon), Spencer, Ben, Wally, Jordan, Joshua and Hanna; great-grandchildren Emily, Alex, Amber, Brendan and Cadence; brother-in-law Uncle Warren (Ilona) and family, sister-in-law Auntie Isabel and family, and his very special friend and companion Marlene De Paulo and her grandson Charlie. We wish to express our heartfelt thanks and gratitude for the compassionate care he received.
