I had the pleasure of working with Maurice at the WCB for a number of years, in fact I was the training officer when he commenced his employment. I found him to be a caring person with sense of humour. He was just a really nice guy and will be missed by many. Rest in peace old friend.
Thanks so much for this. He did have a quick wit and loved to have a good belly laugh at a good joke😊
Sending my deepest condolence to Maurice’s family. When I first started in the workforce Maurice was my first boss. He was an awesome boss. May he rest in peace and his memories will live on.
Thanks for this. He was a great story teller…..often the same story more than once, so his memories will live on😊
So glad he had a positive influence on you😊
My condolences to his family
I worked at the WCB on the same floor as Mr Boonstra
A very kindhearted person
Thanks for this. I’m glad he had a positive influence on you😊
Although our visits were few and far between, our visits brought back fond memories of our past family visits.
May our families take comfort knowing that our father, mother, Uncle and Aunt are together once again in a better place.
Dear Boonstra family,
Our condolences with the passing of Pastor Mo. We always appreciated his commitment and dedication as pastor in our congregation in Fairview.
We had lots of good visits with Mo and Co. May God comfort you all.
