Gerrit deBoer was born to Brant and Jetske (vander Horst) deBoer on May 19,1920 in Langweer Friesland Netherlands.
This is a picture of his birth announcement. I found this is some of the papers that we went through while moving off the farm.
This picture was taken in 1923. Wasn't he a cute little boy?!!
A picture of Trevor with Great-grandpa taken in May of 2008.
This picture was taken in the spring of 2009..Dad was wanting to get the potatoes planted..he could hardly walk in the plowed dirt...so part of the planted was done sitting on the ground..still had the love of the land in him.
Dad taking his last walk around the farm..so glad I took him out there, because it soon snowed and then the move to Sibley. We love you Dad and it's hard to see you like you are.. We plan to be there for your birthday...90!!!
