Obituary of HERMAN ALOYSIUS PLAS
Please share a memory of HERMAN to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Herman A. Plas (1937 – 2024) - The family is saddened to announce that Herman/Dad/Opa passed peacefully in his sleep to his eternal reward on July 21, 2024. Born June 11, 1937, in the Netherlands, Herman emigrated to Canada with his family in 1956. A farmer at heart, Herman was a retiree of ‘Mother Stelco’ - passionate about social justice, music, politics and worker’s rights - living a life of service and sacrifice for his family, his community and his faith. Lovingly missed by his wife, Barbara French and pre-deceased in 2018 by his wife of 57 years, Joanne (nee Van Goch). Survived by his 5 children – Rick (Tina), Karen (Gordon Troughton), Jim (Tina), Denise (Danny Danis) and Kim (John Shalay) and Barbara’s children – Donna Bishop (Steven Keith) & James (Julie) Bishop; 13 grandchildren – Andrew (Alana) & Tiffany Plas; Emma, Bethany (Dru Douglas) & Erin Troughton, Johnathon Plas, Steven (1990), Patrick (Kathryn) & Micheal (Bethany) Bodnar, C.J Danis (Ashley) and Lisa (Jeff Wheeler), Gregory (Heather) & Logan ( Sidney) Shalay & Barbara’s grandchildren – Dylan & Audrey Keith and Hudson & Brooke Bishop; 7 great-grandchildren and more on the way! Herman will also be missed by his 10 surviving siblings, especially his partner in crime Tinie (Gerry Klunder) his many brothers and sisters laws, and many nieces and nephews – predeceased by siblings Annie, Henk and Angela. Herman will also be missed by his many, many friends he acquired through his volunteer work with too many organizations to mention but especially his Wednesday Coffee Clutch crew. Friends may be received at THOMPSON-MOTT FUNERAL HOME, 62 Main St. N. Waterford on Thursday July 25, 2024, from 2-4 & 6-8pm, with Parish Prayers in the chapel at 7:00pm. Mass of a Christian Burial will be held at St. Bernard of Clairvaux Parish, Thompson Rd. W. Waterford on Friday, July 26th, 2024, at 11am. Interment Greenwood Cemetery. As expressions of sympathy the family would appreciate donations to Project Harvest. Lang zal hij leven in de gloria!
