I had the pleasure of being a business associate of Dutch´s over many years, and in the end a friend. A lovely guy who has been taken way too soon. My heartfelt condolences to Nicky, and Dutchies family.

I will never forget the opportunity you gave me to work for your company when you knew I needed a job. I can remember lots of good times going on recovery jobs together with you, out on the road and on the race track. You trusted my driving enough that you phoned me the day before to ask if I could drive a bus for Daniek and her class mates to their high school ball in Auckland. Driving in the Supercars parade through Pukekohe. You gave everybody including me a chance to prove themselves. I left on not so good terms but I am glad that I got to see you and say hello recently, sadly not knowing it would be the last time. Rest in peace forever Dutchie

Thank you for your help with the work we have done together. Even if only over a short time, you have been very helpful with our transportation endeavours. I know you will be missed by many.
Rest in Peace.

Anthony, a cherished nephew and godson of Tante Mein & Oom Jos, and cousin of Elizabeth, Monique & Michael van de Elzen, and their respective families. Your absence will be deeply felt by all of us. May you rest in peace.

Top Guy you were to me Dutchie! Thank you mate, Rest in Peace Eternally.

WIJDEVEN, Anthony (Dutchie). There are men who walk amongst us that are not merely men, They are leaders, sovereigns and humane, these people are the reason our world exists. People of compassion who help those get the best out of themselves, who reason and talk to us to find the solution that best fits all situations. Who put all others first and take heed of their responsibilities to do what ever they can to help others. Thank you Dutch for believing in our quest, Thank you Dutch for the time we spent, Forever mates never to be forgotten. Glenn Mclaughlin
