Publiek domein

Cor van Wijk was married to Bep Voskuijl.[1]

His mother died when he was six years old. His father remarried two years later.

He attended seven years of primary school and then started working as a wallpaper-upholsterer. Due to bad eyesight, he was rejected for military service in 1938. He did not apply for a second examination.[2]

In February 1944, on the recommendation of the director of the Labour Office, he received a passport free of charge in order to work in Germany.[3] He worked as an upholsterer in a furniture factory in Osterode. During his absence in the winter of 1944-1945, Bep stayed with Cor's second mother. When Cor returned from Germany, he met Bep and they started dating.[4]

The civil marriage to Bep took place on 15 May 1946 at half past two in the afternoon. At first, the Van Wijk family had objections to the marriage because of their religious beliefs. The blessing in church took place on 26 May 1946 in the Martelaren van Gorcum Church on Linnaeushof. They had four children: Ton, Joop, Cor and Anne.[5] After Bep's death (1983), Cor married Jacoba Sophia de Haas on 8 August 1985.[6]

Cor's last address was a nursing home called 'Open Hof'. After his death there was a funeral service on 4 November 2002 in the church where the blessing of his marriage with Bep had taken place. Afterwards he was cremated in De Nieuwe Ooster.[7]
