To the entire Van Pelt family,
Growing up in Edgebrook, I always looked up to Mr. Van Pelt as a role model. I loved to talk to him about his job as a fireman. I don't think there are too many people in this world that were nicer than he was. He will be missed.

To the family of Bob,
Not hearing all the stories of the old days at NAS Glenview will be tough.
Bob served with my father all those years ago.
Very sorry for your loss.
