Van was an original, a one of a kind guy who left a lasting and good impression. Handsome, engaging, humorous, and intelligent, a family man, and devoted father---- this is how he'll be remembered. He left a loving and lasting legacy with his wonderful children and grands. RIP, VAN.

Van has always reminded me of Theodore Roosevelt’s "The Man in the Arena".
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
I consider myself fortunate to have known him and more honored to be his friend. I shall forever miss his humor, but I will never forget our laughs we had over the years. - Dr. Tommy Edwards
