"To his extended family, lifelong childhood friends, co-workers at Fujifilm, Army buddies and his dear friend from college, thank you for your friendship and for being a part of his life that he held dear to his heart.
"After graduating from Glen Rogers High School and Glenville State College in WV, he enlisted in the Army, being stationed at Fort Campbell KY from 1985-1987 where he served as Rifleman in A Company 2/502 Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division.

"He was employed at FujiFilm Diosynth Biotechnologies in Morrisville, NC where he was a Lead Recovery Technician. He was known by his co-workers as "Mr. Recovery".... if you had any questions or wanted to know anything about Recovery, he knew it.
"Van loved all things WV and was proud of his WV roots. According to him, WV is the center of the universe. He loved watching WVU and Marshall sports. His passions were fishing in WV rivers, creeks and lakes with family and friends ,trying out new recipes and using his family as willing guinea pigs to eat the food that he cooked, history books and documentaries, and the cheesiest, most cringe-worthy old horror films. He loved music of all kinds.
"Van is so much more than these things, it's hard to describe him and his life in just a few words. To know Van was to care about him and to respect him. Van, you will be missed! You're not gone, you're just out of our sight for a little while"
