We are so very sorry for your loss. Theo was an exceptionally kind family man with a strong work ethic that was inspiring to everyone who knew him.
We shared a love of Manitoulin Island as well and enjoyed visiting with him several times on the Chi-Cheemaun ferry either coming or going to the Island. That definitely was his happy place. Our deepest condolences to all of the Heuvelmans family.

My deepest condolences. I met Theo when he was the owner of Dresden motors and the boss of George Burns who became my husband. Always gracious and remember him fondly. I'm not much of a dancer but at one of the Christmas parties we shared a dance and he led that dance to make me feel like the best dancer ever. May God give strength as you mourn his loss.

To The Entire Heuvelmans Family: We would like to extend our most heartfelt condolences with Theo's passing. We always enjoyed when our paths would cross with Theo and Ann at the arena or local K of C breakfast to name a few encounters. Theo was always interested in how others were doing, especially our son Charlie with his hockey. We enjoyed the photos of Theo and his beautiful family, wonderful memories of good times, family, hard work that will be forever cherished.

To the Heuvelmans Family,
Sending love and condolences from the west coast to all my family back home in Ontario. As one of his many nieces, Uncle Theo was always one of the first to come find me at a family event with open arms, a big hug and to chance for us to catch up. He will be missed by so many of us. Thinking of you Tante Ann, and my cousins Scott, Jason and Cynthia.
Love, Courtney Heuvelmans

I was deeply sadenned to hear of Theo's passing and know that he will be greatly missed by so many that he knew and loved over the years. I always lit up in the dealership if I heard his voice or saw that he was here for a visit. I always felt that I was in the presence of a great man not only because of his many achievements with family and work but in his genuine and sincere humbleness. I wish to send my condolences, thoughts and prayers to all of the family during this difficult time and hope that you will find some comfort in all of the wonderful memories that he left with us.
