“My father did volunteer work and supported charities his entire life. He had been associated with Artsen zonder Grenzen for half of his life. On Queen's Day - and later King's Day - he raised money every year by playing music in the street. The funeral collection was his wish. And we granted it with love.”
Ernst Jonker
