Carin's dad dies

It is with great regret and sorrow we pass on the sad news that Carin's father, Jan van Zyl died last week. Carin was contacted and set out immediately, but did not make it in time. President Stephan followed last Saturday. Stephan expects to be back for our September 16th meeting.

Jan van Zyl was a member of the Pretoria Rotary Club and a  Past District Governor of district 9400.

Many of us were fortunate to meet this warm and caring man, both in South Africa and during his frequent visits to Alberta.

It was a very proud and emotional father who participated in the induction of his daughter, Carin, as our newest member here in July.

Jan van Zyl will be greatly missed by his family and friends. Our sincere condolences go out to Carin, her mother and her family.
