We are saddened to say goodbye to a longtime friend of JKCS, Mr. Gerry Voogd, who went to be with his Lord on December 31. Besides being former JKCS parents and long time friends of our school, Mr. Voogd and his wife Joanne attended many of our Grandparents’ Day events as very special “grand-friends”. They are adopted grandparents to many JKCS students who they know well from their neighbourhood and church, NWCRC, are often invited to Christmas concerts, graduation ceremonies, and other events by their adopted grandchildren. We thank God for Mr. Voogd’s life and service and extend condolences from the JKCS community to Mrs. Voogd, their children and grandchildren.
