Stefan Prins
My name is Stefan, and I am honored to be the grandson of an extraordinary man. I want to share a glimpse into his remarkable life.
He was a man of profound kindness and gentle strength. His laughter was warm, his heart generous, and his love for others unwavering. He carried within him a deep inner strength, rooted in his love for God and for his neighbor.
From time to time, he would share stories from his service in the military. What always struck me was his compassion—he understood that even those on the other side were human beings, with hopes, dreams, and families of their own. He saw the shared humanity in everyone, and that shaped the way he lived his life.
He loved the simple joys of life: cooking, fishing, and immersing himself in nature. He had a special fondness for birds and found beauty in the world around him.
He was truly one of a kind—a glorious human being. This world is dimmer without his presence. He was part of the greatest generation, and his life reflected the best of what that means.
Grandpa, I love you. You will be deeply missed.
