Harmannus BODEWES Obituary
BODEWES, Harmannus Wilhelmus (Herman). After many farewells over 40 years in his role as Captain in the Dutch Merchant Navy we said our last goodbyes to Herman on 30 December 2025. The oceans are emptier without him. Herman was the loving and much loved husband of Nicolette, loved and respected papa of Daniel and Linda and very special Opa of Sophie and Kendall. Sophie and Kendall's love, joy and caring together with Harbour Hospice's respect, care and compassion over the past 7 months made the unbearable bearable. Behouden vaart Herman. Fair winds. A private cremation has taken place.
