Van was an active member, Sunday school teacher, and youth counselor at St. Philip Presbyterian Church for many years. While his career was in computers and electronics, his passion was sports and the outdoors. He was a playful, caring father and husband, always volunteering to coach his kids' sports teams, eagerly planning the next trip, and actively pursuing his hobbies.
In Boy Scouts, he discovered sailing and earned his nickname, Skipper. His other hobbies were soccer, kayaking, scuba diving, and wind-surfing. He was always busy whether it be in the kayak club, the underwater photography club, playing tennis with the church group, or basketball with the youth group. He played soccer into his 60's and softball into his 70's. Van and Barbara were fortunate to travel the world, both loving to learn about other people and cultures. Van never met a stranger.
