Henry Olthuis died today just shy of what would have been his 90th birthday next month.
Born in Losser, Holland in 1931, Henry was the first-born son of a local painter and paint and wallpaper proprietor.
When a young man, his gift as an organist first led him to Grote Kerk, The Great Church in Enschede, Netherlands, where he was appointed assistant organist.
For it was then, he was hired as the church organist and leader of the senior choir at Armour Heights Presbyterian Church, also in North York. Armour Heights just happened to be our family church, and both my mother and I were choir members. While he later moved to Cliffcrest United Church in 1970, he would return to Armour Heights in 1979 where he spent the next 11 years.
Coming back just one final time in 1992, as guest organist for my daughter Kim’s marriage to Richard. In the intervening years, my mother Margaret, who had been widowed several years before, and Henry married.
And even though she was several years his senior, they were happily wed for 33 years before her passing in 2015.
For he truly was one of the kindest, amiable, and most affable human beings ever to grace this earth.
A devoutly religious man, his devotion to my mother was unequivocal. And his graciousness and affection towards my own family, will be long remembered.
Henry is predeceased by his wife Margaret (Thexton) Crockatt, and his brother Dirk Jan Olthuis, sister-in law Alie Olthuis-Vriesema and brothers-in law Johan Verbeek and Abel Jan Hulzinga, all residents of Holland.
He is survived by his beloved sisters, Dini Verbeek-Olthuis and Nelly Hulzinga-Olthuis, and their families with whom he shared fond memories over many-a-video call to Holland.
To Dr. Masgoret and staff at Lakeside Long Term Care Home in Parkdale, a heartfelt thank you for the care, compassion and understanding you showed Henry these past few years.
Because of Covid-19 restrictions, a private Graveside Service will be held.
Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise”. Luke 23:

It is with great sadness that we announce that Helen Keys passed away peacefully with her sons by her side at Lakeridge Health Oshawa after a brief but courageous battle with cancer.
She was the loving mother of Paul (Rosanna) and Dwayne and the very proud grandmother of Dylan, Kerrie, and Evan.
Helen was the only child of Edwin “Ray” Lamory and Linda Lamory (née Hess) who moved to Whitby shortly after her birth.
After completing high school, she studied and trained at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto to become a Laboratory Technician.
Once completed in 1962, she was hired at Ajax-Pickering General Hospital and remained there until she retired in 2000. In 1964, she married John Keys and they moved into the home that they hade purchased in Whitby and started a family.
She was an active member of St. Mark’s United Church in Whitby and been with the Church Choir since age 12.
Helen greatly enjoyed playing and teaching piano, singing, playing bridge, and spending time with family and friends. She also had a passion for genealogy and had researched and created an extensive family tree going back many centuries.
She will be remembered for her contagious smile, sense of humour, and her generosity when it came to assisting people that needed rides to appointments or just help in general.
Helen will be greatly missed by her cousin Barb Warmington and all our extended family and by the many great friends that she had made throughout her lifetime.
We would like to thank all those friends and family that made food, the PSW’s and nurses that assisted us in caring for her at her home, and the staff at Lakeridge Health Oshawa who did such a fantastic job in keeping her comfortable in her final days.
A Private Viewing will be held at W.C. TOWN FUNERAL CHAPEL , Whitby and a Celebration of Helen’s Life at a later date.
