I heard this morning that C Van Tune (Side-Oilers) had lost his battle with cancer.

Very saddened to hear this. IIRC he posted his 68 GT500KR for sale here a couple years ago after receiving the cancer diagnosis. RIP.

Very sorry to hear this.
I remember Van "thinning the herd" a while ago when he got that diagnosis :'(
While I never met him in person, I felt that I knew him a bit from all of the [positive] interactions and posts on here... we had a few things in common.
He was certainly one of the good guys.
Godspeed.

When I was diagnosed with renal carcinoma 6 years ago, two members of this forum were incredibly supportive as I navigated my way through the entire ordeal, Woody Woodroff and Van.  Both of them were dealing with a bleaker prognosis then I, but both were far more concerned with my well being than their own. 

Van will surely be missed, along with Woody and all the other good people taken by this awful disease.

God Bless Van

RIP to Van.  He had indicated to me he had recently sold his Ford GT.  May he be driving at speed in the next realm that awaits.
