He was born in The Netherlands in 1920 on a farm near Almen and raised with 3 brothers. Tony continued to work his parents\u2019 farm after marrying Hentje in 1951 and in 1954 Tony pursued his dream and immigrated to the New World with Hentje, their one-year old daughter, Dinie, and just $500 in cash.

Tony and Hentje became successful dairy farmers in Bruce County; quick to adopt modern farming technology installing a milk pipeline, field drainage, a stable cleaner and more.<br \/>\nWith Hentje, he enjoyed Ontario camping trips, card parties with his Dutch friends, and winters in Florida.
