What a great obituary of uncle Don. He will be missed. Always the adventurer. Loved hearing about the travels and camping trips when we were all together at the farm.
He surely was a tinkerer. We are lucky to have had great aunts and uncles and grandparents.
Thoughts and prayers for everyone.

Although I didn't get the opportunity to meet Mr. Van Vleet, I do know his daughter Diane and her family. I've seen sharing photos of gatherings over the years, you can see all the love and wonderful memories that were made during those times. My condolences to the family ... may God comfort you and guide you through the days ahead. Carry those beautiful memories in your heart until the day you'll be reunited with him in Heaven. Love and prayers.
