Die Helderberg-gemeenskap betreur die verlies van die bekende en geliefde apteker Dirk du Toit, wat die afgelope week oorlede is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens die provinsiale polisiewoordvoerder AO Joseph Swartbooi doen die Gordonsbaai-polisie \u2019n geregtelike doodsondersoek nadat die 69-jarige Woensdag (22 November) omstreeks 10:30 dood in sy Gordonsbaai-tuiste aangetref is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie slagoffer is deur nooddienspersoneel op die toneel dood verklaar. Die Gordonsbaai-polisie het \u2019n geregtelike doodsondersoek geregistreer,\u201d het Swartbooi ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Du Toit was jare lank eienaar van die Alpha Baykem-apteek, waar \u2019n geraamde foto van die geliefde sakeman met blomme en \u2019n brandende kers besoekers by die ingang van die familieonderneming by die winkelsentrum in Faure Marine-rylaan begroet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is met groot skok en hartseer dat ons hierdie week skielik moes afskeid neem van ons geliefde pa, eggenoot en oupa, Dirk du Toit,\u201d lui \u2019n verklaring wat deur die familie saamgestel en aan die media uitgereik is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHy was \u2019n groot gees met groot drome, wat \u2019n familie-gemeenskapsapteek in 1996 in Gordonsbaai geopen het. Hy het die laaste 27 jaar hier gepraktiseer. Hy was geliefd deur al die klante asook vriende. Hy het sy klante soos familie behandel \u2013 met \u2019n vrygewige hart en met welwillendheid. Hy was baie bekend in die gemeenskap \u2013 veral as \u2019n baken van lig in donker tye. Sy personeel het na hom opgekyk en op sy mentorskap en leiding staatgemaak.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die verklaring het verder gelui die familieonderneming sal voortgaan met Du Toit se kleindogter wat van die nuwe jaar af as voltydse apteker by die apteek sal aansluit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns wil graag dankie s\u00ea vir die oorvloed ondersteuning en gebede deur lojale klante en vriende, wat vir ons soos familie is. Dankie vir jul voortgesette ondersteuning deur hierdie moeilike tyd. Baykem-apteek waardeer julle almal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Roudiens vir Du Toit word vir eerskomende week beplan. Meer besonderhede sal op die apteek se Facebook-blad gedeel word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die verlies van Du Toit het sosialemediaplatforms aan die gons gehad en boodskappe van medelye stroom steeds in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Gordonsbaaise inwoner Jeanette Loring het in \u2019n Facebook-inskrywing gedeel: \u201cDit is met diepe hartseer dat ek verneem het van die afsterwe van dierbare Dirk du Toit. Hy was vriendelik, vrygewig en het omgegee \u2013 werklik \u2019n goeie man. Dirk was \u2019n hoeksteen van die gemeenskap, \u2019n pa en \u2019n vertroueling. Sy klante was nie nommers nie; nie \u2018profiele\u2019 nie \u2013 ons was mense vir wie hy baie omgegee het. O gits, Dirk, ek hoop jy weet hoe geliefd jy was. Ons gaan jou baie mis. Rus in vrede.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marguerite Webster deel: \u201cEk stap al ongeveer 25 jaar al die pad saam met Dirk du Toit, wat my behandel het vir \u2019n plethora<\/em> van siektes, en het deel geword het van my bestaan. Kan die w\u00eareld regtig vir Dirk du Toit verloor? \u2019n Duisend maal nee! Ek twyfel of Dirk geweet het hoe lief mense vir hom was. Hy was Gordonsbaai se gom. Waar jy ook al vlieg, Dirk \u2013 sprei jou vlerke. Jy was \u2019n real mensch<\/em>. Dankie vir jou omgee; dankie vir absoluut alles wat jy vir hierdie gemeenskap beteken het. Alle sterkte aan sy geliefdes, vriende, sy \u2018gemeente\u2019\u2026 ons sal jou nooit vergeet nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sonet Heyns skryf: \u201cDit is met skok en hartseer dat ons verneem van Dirk du Toit se heengaan. Hy was \u2019n legende. Vir meer as 20-plus jaar was hy nie net \u2019n apteker nie, maar \u2019n vriend, \u2019n \u2018dokter\u2019, \u2019n mensemens met wie jy jou leed en geluk kon deel. Hy laat \u2019n groot leemte.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Die Helderberg-gemeenskap betreur die verlies van die bekende en geliefde apteker Dirk du Toit, wat die afgelope week oorlede is.
