Notes |
Nickname: "Jumbo"
This nickname is a true characterization of some prominent aspects of his personality: he was very energetic and went straight to his target. Some people probably would blame him his lack of ' tact', others would easily discard this fact because of his charm and sometimes naieve way of handling things. |
Father of J.J.W. van Waning (#5232)
and drs. R.C. van Waning (#5572),
Cousin of C.H. de Lussanet de las Sablonière (#746), esquire E.J. van Holthe (#1673) and .. (A. 112),
Rear cousin of W.J.P. van Waning (#196).
