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 [positove] interactions and posts on here... we had a few things in common.
He was certainly one of the good guys.
Godspeed.
