So sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad. I enjoyed reading about his life and family. I wish I would have met him. Hugs to you and all your family.
BASTIAN, Carl Hendrik
1939 - 2022
Carl Hendrik Bastian
18 MARS 1939 - 30 MAI 2022
Carl Hendrik Bastian est né à Eindhoven, aux Pays-Bas, de Willem et Neelte Bastian (née Weltje) le 18 mars 1939. Il avait deux sœurs aînées (Janie et Corrie) et un frère cadet (Willem [Bill]). Il a fait toute sa scolarité aux Pays-Bas avant d'émigrer au Canada avec ses parents en juillet 1957.
Un an avant son départ pour le Canada, Carl a rencontré Margo et a très vite entamé une relation avec elle. Ils ont partagé une relation à distance pendant un peu plus d'un an avant que Carl ne reprenne le bateau pour les Pays-Bas en octobre 1958 pour être avec sa Margo qu'il a épousée le 28 mai 1959. Six semaines plus tard, ils sont retournés ensemble au Québec, au Canada.
Carl a pu trouver rapidement un emploi de machiniste (et plus tard de contremaître) chez Millmont Fiber Boards où il a travaillé pendant 10 ans. Il a ensuite commencé à travailler chez Air Canada le lendemain de Noël 1967, où il a travaillé jusqu'à sa retraite en 2001.
Les quatre enfants de Carl et Margo, Matthew (1962), Lia (1964), Manja (1968) et Joanne (1969), sont tous nés sur l'île de Montréal et y ont vécu jusqu'à ce que la famille déménage à Vaudreuil, au Québec, au sud-ouest de Montréal, en 1973. C'est à Vaudreuil que le couple a vu ses enfants grandir, entamer leur carrière, rencontrer leur conjoint et fonder leur propre famille.
En 2008, Carl et Margo ont déménagé à Anderson Park Community à Carlsbad Springs, en Ontario, où ils sont devenus partie intégrante d'une communauté qu'ils appréciaient beaucoup. Carl est rapidement devenu un homme à tout faire de la communauté et a fait beaucoup de bénévolat partout où l'on avait besoin de lui.
Tant au Québec qu'en Ontario, Carl et Margo se sont beaucoup impliqués dans l'église réformée chrétienne locale. En plus de nouer et d'entretenir de nombreuses amitiés, le couple avait toujours une porte ouverte pour les visiteurs de l'église qui n'avaient peut-être pas d'autre endroit où aller. Carl a également utilisé ses nombreux dons et talents pour aider à l'entretien de l'église et à l'organisation d'innombrables bazars dans les deux endroits.
Carl était un mari, un père de famille et un ami dévoué. Sa foi chrétienne faisait partie intégrante de qui il était et de ce qu'il faisait. Il encourageait les gens et avait de nombreux intérêts. Il avait toujours un sourire et un mot gentil pour quiconque croisait son chemin. Ses 63 années de mariage avec Margo sont et seront toujours un héritage pour sa famille. L'une de ses plus grandes joies était de passer du temps avec ses enfants, ses petits-enfants et ses arrière-petits-enfants. C'est son esprit doux et sa joie de vivre qui manqueront à tant de personnes dans de nombreuses régions du monde.
Carl sera regretté et toujours aimé :

Matthew and Judy, Margo and families
Our heartfelt condolences to all of you. It was both a privilege and a joy to have known Carl and spent time with both he and Margo at your welcoming family gatherings where we ( my husband Kerry and I ) were made to feel like members of this great family. He was such a wonderful person, a kind thoughtful, gentle soul .
The Bastian Family
Mom and I wish to extend our deepest condolences to the entire family.
Joanne and I had discussed earlier this year, about how nice it would be to visit, Mr. and Mrs. Bastian, during my mom’s June trip to Quebec. It had been at least 15 years since we had last visited their home on White Street in Vaudreuil.
I will always remember, Mr. Bastian as a kind and gentle man. He was always doing something around the house. Other than at mealtime, I don’t think I ever saw him sit down or rest.
I hope that there are gardens in heaven, for him to finally sit it and enjoy. Although, it will probably be more likely that he’ll be volunteering to tend to them.
Rest In Peace, Mr. Bastian

I want to send you my deepest condolences for your profound loss. Margo, you lovingly supported Carl through his journey, with the support of your family, church and close friends. The love you shared for 63 years will be with you always and I hope that this love, along with that of your family and the strength of your faith will carry you through this difficult time and into the future.
Margo and family
Please accept my deepest condolence to you and your family. Carl was a beautiful, kind and special person, beloved by many and a good friend of Doug's. They shared a unique friendship born of shared interests, respect for each other and others, and a love of the community in which they lived. Carl was very good to Doug during his last months both in visiting him and helping us. He left a wonderful impression on many and will be deeply missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Lieve Margo en familie,
We zijn diep geschokt door het heengaan van je lieve man, jullie (schoon)vader, opa en overgrootvader Carl.
Wij hebben Carl leren kennen als een bijzonder mens met bijzondere kwaliteiten, een man die zich altijd inzette voor het welzijn van anderen. Wij condoleren jullie met dit immense verlies en vertrouwen erop dat jullie met elkaar dit verdriet zullen verwerken.
Wij zijn ervan overtuigd dat Carl is teruggekeerd naar het Huis van Zijn Hemelse Vader en dat God Carl in zijn armen heeft opgenomen.
In onze gedachten zijn wij bij jullie en wensen jullie veel kracht en sterkte toe.
Alle liefs van Jan & Marijke

My heartfelt condolences to you all my church family,
This is such a difficult time to say good-bye to a loved one! The pain is ours to bear! Carl is not suffering anymore he is with his Lord!
Growing up in the Montreal church was like growing up in a very unique family. We were all very connected. Life gets in the way and we get older but the connection always remains. Our church family! We may not be able to share your day with you in person on Monday, we will be with you in spirit. Our prayers are with you and we send you strength!
Carl was as steadfast as they come! He will surely be missed by all!

I remember with fondness babysitting the children when our family (the Bouma’s) lived in Pierrefonds and later in Dollard-Des Ormeaux.
So sorry to read about the passing of Carl.

I remember many times from the early Montreal years when our families would get together...whether for a church service ...camping trips....New Year's Eve parties...swimming in your backyard in Vaudreille...and even in Miami where your family visited ours....all so special! I remember Mr Bastian as a humble man who was always smiling. May the Lord grant you all His comfort and peace as you say "goodbye for now". We look forward to a wonderful heavenly reunion...
Dear Bastian family,
While in high school with Manja, I remember many wonderful visits to your home. Your father's gentle presence and endearing smile comes to mind.
In this sad time, I hope the Lord will bring you comfort and strength as you grieve this loss.
