Johannis Kruithof

Age - 80

December 2, 2023

Obituary for Johannis "Hans" Kruithof Hans (Senior), passed away, peacefully, at HSN, Greater Sudbury, on Thursday, November 30, 2023 at the age of 80. He had been in hospital for 4 days due to a stroke when he experienced a major heart attack. Fortunately, he did not suffer long and took his last breath only hours later, with family by his side. We believe he is happy with how he left this planet. Born in the The Netherlands, he came to Canada with his parents and siblings at the age of eight. His family settled and expanded in Cochrane, ON. Having worked on the farm since childhood, Hans left at the young age of 16 to make it on his own. He worked in many parts of the country doing various jobs, but his main employer was INCO (now Vale) where he worked for over 20 years as a Diamond Driller. In this position, he travelled to many remote places in Canada and even spent 6 months in Brazil. Almost 40 years ago, he retired on disability after a workplace accident left him with five pins in his foot and wire throughout his ankle. The doctors told him he would probably not be able to walk after age 60 but he took pride in the fact that he was mobile 20 years longer than predicted. Hans reached milestones that were important to him. He never thought he would get to turn 80 but did that earlier this year. He also looked forward to becoming a great-grandfather which occurred on July 6, 2021. He had no desire to travel anywhere else but did say he wanted to meet an alien. His presence and sense of humor will be greatly missed. He is predeceased by his wife, Cheryl Kruithof (2011); parents, John Kruithof (1989) and Johanna Kruithof (1997); brother Willy Kruithof (Kim)(1994); sister, Lena Van Ballegooie (2021) and grand daughter Amanda Mark (2018). Left to grieve are his daughter, Carrie Alexander of Greater Sudbury; son, Hans Kruithof, Junior (wife Paula) of Innisfil; brother John Kruithof (Kawsar) of Ottawa ; brother Harry Kruithof (Nina) of Cochrane, brother Garry Kruithof (Dianne) of Larder lake, and little sister, Cora Brown of Kapuskasing; grandchildren, Crystal Kruithof (Calgary); Andrew Mark (Greater Sudbury); Owen and Hudson Kruithof (Innisfil) and great grandchild Jovanni "Jovi" Labelle (Greater Sudbury). In keeping with his wishes, there will be no funeral service. A celebration of life may be planned at a later date. In his memory, please carry out a random act of kindness - he would love that.
