These were the years that Zwaluwen played at the highest amateur level. According to the many members and supporters who have lived through this time, Ab was a very reliable and dedicated closing post. In the 1990s, Ab returned to the club when his son Mario started playing football. A few years later, Ab was one of the members who made sure that Zwaluwen experienced an advance from the third division towards the Hoofdklasse, where the club is still active today. In his role as TC and later also a board member, Ab was of great value to the club and was really connected to our first team. In recent seasons we saw Ab right along the line with our (mini) pupils as a proud grandfather to encourage his grandsons Avery and Casey. Ab was a real Swallows man and will be greatly missed by us. We wish his wife Jeanette, son Mario and the whole family a lot of strength.
