It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our father Rudolf Ras (Rudy) on December 6, 2019 at the age of 92.

Dad was born in the Hague, Netherlands to Katharina and Willem Ras. Rudolf married Mina Van Vugt and then the family immigrated to Canada where he worked as a Millright.

Dad later remarried Agatha Klassen. They enjoyed the outdoors and loved to travel.

Dad was predeceased by his wife Agatha Klassen, parents Katharina and Willem, daughter Wilhelmina, son Willem, brother Willem, sisters in law Greet and Tiny from Holland and granddaughter Tannis.

Dad is survived by children Adrian (Bev), Rudi (Brenda), Catharina (Vince), Albert (Julie), Jake (Martha), Richard (Jenn) and stepson Hal Klassen as well as fifteen grandchildren and twenty - two great grandchildren. Dad is also survived by his brothers Albert (Gerda), Dirk, Aad (Willy), from Holland and Gerry (Adrie) of California as well as numerous nieces and nephews from Holland and California.

The family extends many thanks to the staff at the Misericordia Healthcare Centre, Charleswood long term care (Unit One) and Grace Hospital emergency department who provided great care to Dad.

From all of us thank you Adrian and Bev for being wonderful caregivers to Dad. He really appreciated all you did for him.
