Judy:

I just received an email from Kim about Van's passing. I just wanted to let you know that you are in my prayers. I remember your kind words when I was struggling. We now live in Virginia and I am a counselor working with the troops returning from Iraq. If you ever want to visit DC, give Kim a call and get our number.

Love,

Cousin Susan Walley

Please stay strong and well until we meet at the Bathtub Beach in Hawaii. Aloha! SHMagalei

Hi Judy,
My name is Melanie Clawson-Inskeep. Mr.Bulkley was my teacher in 1981. My sister, Barbara, was his TA. We were both notorious sluffers, but we never missed Mr.Bulkley's class.
He was our favorite teacher ever! And the only one we ever talk about. We adored him.
My sister called me today to tell me that Mr.Bulkley had died this week. His funeral was yesterday! We would have loved to have been there to show our respect and love for such a wonderful man.

One of the best teachers ever! He will be missed! Calvin Walker

Elder Bulkley, as I knew him, was an inspiration to me of humility and cheerfulness. He and I went to the Gulf States Mission together and were in the same district for a while.
My condolences to the family and friends who know him so intimately.

Judy & kids,

I feel a big loss with Van's passing. As you know, Van was like a father to me. He had a huge impact in my life for good.

Van gave me a chance to fulfill my goals to get into radio. He was always supportive when I came up with something different that I wanted to do on KPGR.

But he was also very involved and supportive of my life outside of KPGR. I enjoyed so much the times I spent visiting Van and you in your home over the years.

I...

Judi and family,
We are so sorry to hear about Van. Just want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love, Roger and Jane (Esplin) Campbell and family.
