TENHAGEN, Marinus Daniel (Max)

1921-2008 - Max's Sentimental Journey. In 1951, Max,
with his new wife Henny (1928-1996), travelled across the ocean to start a new life
in Canada to wash away the atrocities that World War II had brought to his homeland,
Holland. His life in Canada brought the peace and joy that he sought as he explored
the natural beauty of Northern Ontario. Max, who loved the serenity that the rocks,
lakes and forests offered always had fresh speckled trout and partridge to share
with family and friends. His love, talent and appreciation of jazz touched many. We
all have fond memories of Opa entertaining us, 'tinkling' the ivories and allowing
us to share in a loving and sentimental journey that has been our family's pleasure.
We will miss him - Mary Ellen, wife of 6 years, children: Marianne (Bill), Maxim
(Linda) and Evelyn (Mike), grandchildren: Barry, Ben, Christine, Matthew, Luke and
Nigel. Special thanks to Dr. Eidel Beduhn, physician and friend for thirty years and
the staff of 200A General Hospital for their excellent care and compassion. Friends
may call at the Arthur Funeral Home & Cremation Centre on Tuesday, August 26, 2008
from 5 pm until time of the service in the chapel at 7 pm. Pastor Craig Buckner
officiating. Memorial donations to the Canadian Cancer Society or Bible Fellowship
Church at Hiawatha Building Fund would be appreciated.
