Jules, we cover you with good thoughts and our prayers. To Van's family we express our deepest condolences at the loss of your extraordinary beloved. If someone asked me to describe Van by only using two words I would choose excellent and true. Van is always in search of excellence and is a great example of being true to oneself. He made this world a better place in his quest for excellence. Our best tribute to his contributions in this life, is to live our lives in the pursuit of excellence while being as true as possible to the people we are meant to be. I KNOW that when we wake up tomorrow, Van would want each of us to have an excellent day. Till we meet again Van....Tricia Kiely

Bruce, I've lost count of the great memories we've shared over the years.  You were my older brother, my friend, my guide when I was a young man.  I would not be the man I am today without your rudder steer. I will always remember you.

Van,
I've been thinking about your ever since I heard the news. Tom and I already miss you very much. 
We have been so thankful for your friendship over all these years. I have so many fun memories of us three climbing together and eating ice cream together. :) I love that you were always up for any adventure - short notice and all.
You have always been someone who is straight forward, friendly, soooo positive, generous, fun, and up for trying all new things. I am so glad that I can count you as my friend. 
I am so glad that we got to meet Jules and know that you found your sweetheart. I hope she knows our door is open to her as it was to you any time. 
Much love, Gwen
