‘Not a single day without
a smile’

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Frans van den Broek, aged 66, on June 18, 2018, after a long illness. His love and friendship will be greatly missed by his friend and partner of 30 years, Hanneke Schoneveld. He was a much loved father and father-in-law of Dana and Clinton, Lenny and Ben, Alex and Naomi, and Opa to Hendriks and Lillie. Frans leaves behind loving family members Ton and Nel, Geet and Thea, Miek, Ad and Miep. He was also a much loved and respected member of the Schoneveld family. Deepest gratitude to Coby Schoneveld without whose help, love and care we could not have managed. Thanks to all our family, friends and colleagues for their continuing support, love and laughter. Messages may be addressed to The Family of Frans van den Broek, c/- 19 London Street, Christchurch 8013. In lieu of flowers, the family request donations be made to the Cancer Research Trust of New Zealand via their website www.cancerresearchtrustnz.org.nz... or at the service. A service in celebration of Frans’ life will be held at the Christchurch Golf Club, Horseshoe Lake Road, Shirley, on Friday, June 22, at 11.00am.
