It is with great sorrow that we announce the unexpected passing of Harry James Van Ryswyk.
Born on June 9th, 1980, son of Patricia and William Van Ryswyk of Dryden, ON. Leaving to mourn his loss is his brother John, sister-in-law Diana, nephew Cohen, niece Eliza Van Ryswyk of Grand Cayman Islands. Also mourning is Lacie Daniels, mother of daughter Ava and son Harrison Van Ryswyk of Lethbridge Alberta and Vicki Webb, mother of son Levi Van Ryswyk of Dryden ON. Numerous relatives stretching from Thunder Bay to Vancouver Island and also in the Netherlands.
Harry was a true outdoorsman; an avid fisherman with Musky fishing being his greatest passion. But his children came first, and he shared his passion with them whenever he could. Early in his adult life he loved downhill skiing in BC, eventually becoming an Industrial Electrician, moving back to Dryden to become an Electrical Supervisor at Domtar.
Harry has always been a well-loved person and has made friends everywhere he’s been. We all miss him dearly.
