I´ve known Mr. VanderVeen since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. Our families were very close, and he was a part of my life for as long as I can remember. He was a very important part of my life, and I´m grateful for the years and the memories. My sincere condolences to Carey, Eric, Alex, and Andy and the entire VanderVeen family.
