Huisman: Cornelis — On May 21, 2025, Casey/Cees Huisman (Cornelis Huisman, if you must) crossed over from a crazy world into a peace that passes understanding.

Born in 1951 in Bleiswijk, The Netherlands, he lived just outside Ridgetown for 35 years with his loving wife Jan Huisman (2020), with whom he shared 41 years of marriage. Son of the late Jacob and Beatrix (née Van Dyk) Huisman.

Proud father of seven children: Sharon (Allan), Karen (2003), Judy (2016) (Martin), Nancy (2018), Doug (Penny), Christine (Robert), and Steve (Casey). Also predeceased by sons-in-law Larry, Roger, Jerry, and Lady the dog. Adored by his many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren.

Loving brother to Ed (Nell), Peter (Ria), Jaco, Dita (Jan), Trudie (Helmic), and Arienne (Bertus). He will be missed by nieces, nephews, and friends in both Canada and Holland.

Family would like to thank Dr. Prins and his staff, the team at Village on the Ridge, and the staff at the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance for their care and compassion.
