Dear brother of Ted (Betty), Ron (Cindy), & Nick (late Nellie) Molenaar. Predeceased by his parents Hendrika & Nicholas Molenaar and his brother Gerry Molenaar. Fondly remembered by nieces, nephews and his ‘old’ STATS friends. Henk served in the Canadian Army/2nd Canadian Guards from 1960-1964.

March 11, 2023 at 10:47 amI’m so sorry to hear of Hank’s death and my sympathies are extended to his family.
I worked with Hank at StatsCan for many years and was also on the O&ID social committee with him. He was a fun person to be around and knew how to get around management so that staff could enjoy themselves. Rest in Peace Hank – and thanks for sharing your beer!

March 30, 2023 at 2:50 pmI met Hank through work, but I remember most that early in my career we chatted about the Cdn Guards Regiment, as my father served the tail end of his career in 1 and 2 Battalion during Hank’s years with them. I don’t remember how we connected as we did not work in the same division at STC. He was generous in talking about it with me, someone he didn’t know. Condolences from me and my family and father to the Molenaar’s.
