I first got to know Gerrit Visser many years ago through our connection to the Dutch Club in Frenchs Forest. Gerry, as he was known to his Anglo-Australian friends, was a tireless worker for this Club.
He was always jovial, with a wonderful sense of humour. He always had a wide smile on his face. In his professional life he was an electrician, but still found time to do volunteering for Vinnies which he continued in his retirement.
He was a member of PBC for many years, where he played with his wife Vonya and in later years his friend Piet Smit.
He was a gentle man and a gentleman who will be sadly missed.
