Val did life his life to the fullest and he relished every moment of it. He took his comittment to friendship and love deeply. His happy attitude spilled onto everyone he met. His friends, his niece and nephew and their spouses as well as my husband and I will miss him deeply but we will incorporate his love of live into our hearts everyday. We all know that Val loved good food and a good drink so I raise my glass to him, or as Val would have done I'll raise a few glasses....Susan and family
