de Crom, Petrus (Peter) Franciscus Marie

Petrus Franciscus de Crom of Calgary passed away peacefully at Rosedale Hospice on Friday, April 17, 2009 at the age of 87 years. Peter was born on November 5, 1921 in Oerle, Holland, where he married his beloved wife of fifty-nine years, Wilhelmina. In 1953, he moved his growing family to Canada. While Peter spent most of his working life with the Calgary Transit, Maintenance Dept., he was able to continue his love for farming. His acreage enabled him to provide wonderful food for his family, including thirty-four foster children over the years. Peter's family was his life. Peter loved people and enjoyed striking up a conversation with anyone. He developed lasting relationships with old and new friends, great neighbours, and the people he worked with. Peter is lovingly remembered by his wife Wilhelmina; seven children Maria, Johanna (Dave) Thompson, Frank de Crom (Michelle), de Crom, Betty (Theo) Jacobs, Theo (Kate) de Crom, Theresa (Kees) de Waal, Audrey (Matthew) Takoski; sixteen grandchildren and almost three great-grandchildren; as well as two sisters Theresa and Dora and a younger brother Wim, in Holland and New Zealand.
