Obituary for Andries 'Andy' Van Ryn
Andries (Andy) Van Ryn
Andries Van Ryn died peacefully at his home in Lisle, with his family at his side, on Tuesday May 26, 2015 in his 93rd year. Born in Alphen aan den Rijn, Holland on April 17, 1923, to Cornelius and Aggie (nee Van Leuwen). Beloved husband of Mynsje (Menks, nee Houtzager) for 59 years. Proud father to Agnes Van Ryn (David Wylie), Sharon Kozlowski (Cameron), Bill (Ingrid), Michelle Van Ryn (Robert Chatelain). Proud Opa to Elijah, Joshua, Emily, Quinn, Troy, Brooklynn, Saskia, Michael, Rebekah, Andie, Isabel, and Jude. Predeceased by his son Michael, and brothers Tom and Jerry. He will be sadly missed by many nieces, nephews, and friends. Andries immigrated to Canada in May 1951, and began work as a farm hand in Stayner. After several moves he bought a farm in Lisle. He farmed for several years and then, with his brother Jerry, started a small landscaping and construction company. Their work improved thousands of properties in central Ontario. Andries was a devout member of St. Andrews Maple Cross Presbyterian Church in Creemore. A memorial service will be held at St. Andrews Maple Cross on Sunday May 31 at 1 p.m. followed by a reception at the Creemore Legion. Private burial rites will be performed at Fawcett Funeral Home in Creemore on Monday June 1st followed by interment at Alliston Union Cemetery. As an expression of sympathy donations may be made to St. Andrews Maple Cross.
