Condolence: Dear Cathy and Family, Our deepest condolences to you and your family. You are in our thoughts and prayers. A true gentleman who would always take the time to provide guidance to me at EDS, whenever I asked. His vision and leadership skills within the OCHL were simply outstanding. Our two grandsons are playing in the OCHL, and are better young boys because of Marinus and the OCHL Staff. May he rest in eternal peace.
