We are surrounded by the generosity of Van in his works of art in many forms.

We will cherish our memories of the
happy times spent together.

Van always was giving of himself, his humor, and never asked for anything.

He made a positive impact on so many people.

We will remember Van with love and gratitude...and a bit of his impish ways.

Our thoughts and prayers to all who were touched by this very special and gentle soul. I will always remember his wonderful laugh and feel honored he allowed my brother , sister and I to call him "Uncle Van".
May he rest with all the angels.

Sincere sympathy to Caren and Gregg and families.

I was saddened to learn today that Red had passed away. My condolences to the entire Van Duzer Family. I am Audrey Letson's daughter and June Mraz's granddaughter. I have very fond memories of Red. I am proud to be related to such an incredible man. I remember visiting his studio in the Flats before it became a hot spot for a couple family reunions. He attended my wedding. My mom knew him well. I wish I would have known him better. A loss to the world... but a great addition to Heaven!

Condolences and prayers to Clarence's family. I met him in the early 80's at his flats studio. I drove a carriage. I enjoyed meeting and speaking to him. Cool guy.
