Van and Keith Woods (age 5) at Keith's home in Valley Center, CA (1969)

To all the Van Cleave family we send our deepest distress to hear that Van is no longer with us. It was a joy and privilege to have been neighbors of Van and Joan during their McCall years; we always slept better knowing Van was just down the road if we needed his help. Our hearts are with you at this hard time.

Cathi and family, you all are in our thoughts during this hard time. Sending you love and hugs from Pocatello. Love, Ash, Eric, and Dexter

Dear Joan:
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Your family memories will be of much comfort to you all.

Dear Joan:
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I'm sure your family memories will be of much comfort to you.

My sincere condolences to you Joan and your family. You probably do not remember me from so many years ago but I have never forgotten how warm and kind your family was in the short time I knew you. Van was such a wonderful man. Prayers go out to you during this sad time. May God bless you... Robin (Galloway) Clark (previously from McCall Idaho)

Joan May God Bless and protect you and your family. I served with Wilber on the Sheriff's Department for several years.He was one of the toughest Deputy I ever knew. But always fair and courteous.

Deputy Wilbur Van Cleave left a legacy in the San Diego Sheriff's Department that many of us used as an example of what a Deputy Sheriff should be. A man known and remembered for his integrity, honesty and for being fearless in the performance of his duties. Chuck Cross Commander Retired San Diego Sheriff
