“My thoughts and prayers for your family during these difficult times. Van, Denise and the girls lived next door to me in Stillwater Farms for years. I enjoyed many long conversations with Van in our yards and at the China Spring football games. When he went to work for Glazers I was once again fortunate to enjoy his company when he serviced the lines or made deliveries to Shooters. You will be greatly missed my brother. RIP. Carl Pfenninger”
