STOKMAN, Dirk Johannes

Dirk passed away peacefully at his home in
Guelph on Saturday, July 17, 2021, at the age of 72.

Loving father of Joey, Monica and Adam. Grandad of Ashley, Austin,
Desmond and Lillian. Great grandad to Bentley. Eldest son of Antony
(2005) and Nellie (2007) of Eramosa. Dear brother of Joanne (Roy
Davies), Art (Johanna), the late Tony (2007) (Marjorie), Nancy,
Angelina, Frank (Janice), MaryAnn and Peter.

Dirk was a well-known figure in Guelph’s downtown core. He would give
you the shirt off his back, or his last smoke, without hesitation. He
loved conversation, long walks, his near-feral cat, the History Channel
and a good laugh.

The family wishes to acknowledge all those who were kind and generous
towards him, most especially the physicians and staff of the Homewood,
the ACTT team, Sister Christine Leyser, all the “gals” at the Victoria
and York Road Tim Hortons, the Guelph Police Service, who treated him
respectfully and his neighbours on Hooper Street.
