When I think of Van I think of all the laughter we shared as one of the old 18th street gang,
ALL MY BEST TO ALL WHO HAD THE PLEASURE OF KNOWING HIM!

Wow, one of my old 18th street SUPER pals is no longer with us. Lost track of Van when we each left Sacramento but will never forget all the GREAT memories in the hood.
