Vance P. Packard

I met Vance in 1966 when 1 was 16, and talked him into taking me on to his crew at the Nance Component at the Blue Rock Site in Lancaster County. He was the dig forman under Dr. Holzinger at Franklin and Marshal. He and three others had an appartment near F&M, and I got dropped off there every morning, and rode with the crew in Vance's station wagon out to the site. The vehicle had no seat belts, and we all had to ride with one hnad pressed up agains the headliner so we wouldn't fly up andd...

Vance, my sister Katherine and I were pretty much inseparable during many childhood summers on Chappaquiddick. We published a good little newspaper together, the Chappy Chatter, eight weeks straight, two summers in 1954 and 1955. Vance was an inspiring character in my life--pulled me out of my reserve and introspection. Haven't seen him for many years but I miss him.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Bonnie, thank you for letting me know. I have always been honored to call this fine man my friend. There are so many good memories. Lets get together in the future and reminisce.
Much Love for you both.

I met Vance at the Fire Station when we moved to this area and he was one of the most warmest and welcoming persons that I had ever met. He had much wisdom. Barb, we are all going to miss him. I know you have so many wonderful memories and thank you for sharing him with us at the station. Sending heartfelt prayer and condolences.

Love,
Joanne and Bryan (Thornhurst Fire and Rescue)
