We send our sympathy to all the family and remember Van in the Ward as Don was growing up in the old 5th and 11th Wards. He was always so friendly to everyone. He enjoyed life and was happy in living it. Don remembers him in the Temple also. These are pleasant memories. Our love to the family, Don and Donna Millett

Although I was his uncle, I was a little younger than Van. We grew up together in Snowflake and attended Mesa High School together in 1950-51. I loved him and I felt that he loved me. My wife Althea and I send our condolences to Alicia and to Van’s daughters.
