My heart sinks knowing Harley isn't with us in the world. He was such a beacon of strength, kindness and love. His stillness and simplicity in life radiated wisdom and grace. He made my grandmother (Marie) a very happy person towards the later part of her life. I'm go grateful to have known and spent time with Harley. His presence will be greatly missed but his spirit not forgotten. I wish very much I could be there with everyone today. Sending so much love to all family and friends.

Undoubtedly one of the finest men I have ever known. He so loved and enjoyed his entire family, his wife Rose, children ,grandchildren, great grand children, siblings, nieces and nephews. Being the sports fan he was, even in his latter years he would go watch his great grandchildren play ball as he did with his grandchildren and children. A humble man, his kindness and giving spirit has been an influence to all who have known him, and I for one and so grateful for that influence. Rest in peace Harley Van.
