We are heartbroken  as our family has lost a pillar.
Van's impact in the Monmouth/Independence Community and the large circle of family and friends is wide and deep. He was a mentor, leader, full of life, a father, loving husband and so much more. 
The family is overwhelmed with the outpouring support, flowers and meals. In lieu of sending flowers or meals please consider donating to final expenses and a large celebration of life this summer when public gatherings are possible.
