Gus (Gysbert Gerrit) Vander Linden of Coalhurst passed away peacefully at the Chinook Regional Hospital on Sunday August 5, 2012 at the age of 73 years, following a brief battle with cancer. He is survived by his beloved wife Hennie; his daughter Gerri (Lorne) and their son Jesse (Samantha); his son Gary (Janet) and their children Jared and Alyk. He is also survived by his sisters in Holland, his brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law here, and all their families. He was predeceased by his parents, his parents-in-law, and his son Roger. Gus was born and raised in Holland and immigrated to the Lethbridge area in 1958, which is also when he met Hennie. They married on September 2, 1961. He worked at many different jobs, returned to school to earn his carpenter’s ticket, and was eventually hired by Lethbridge School District #51 where he worked his way up to Facilities Supervisor. After retiring, Gus entered civic politics, and was elected and re-elected as town councillor. His main hobby was his ham radio, which brought him in contact with friends and operators all over the world. Gus loved his community, his garden, camping, his church, and most of all his family, loving nothing more than spending time with them. The funeral service for Gus will be at ST.
