Val was a good friend with a great since of humor. He loved his family,& had many friends that will always remember him fondly. We still miss you, Ole Buddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember Val best for the livid arguments we had. After high school, he was a fixture in my life as I was best friends with his wife and our children were also best friends. I've never laughed so much with anyone. He was so much fun and a very loving person with a soft spot for everyone he knew and cared for; just a big bear of a person that no one who knew him could not help but love. He loved Sims Golf Course probably too much. I must say that I am most sad that his beautiful daughters do not have the opportunity to know him as an old man. He left them too soon... as I know he would have been an excellent grandfather, given the opportunity. He is missed. God love you, Val!!!

Here was another good friend as mentioned with my Dalbo Thompson memories.....Agree with Janie Anderson, he left this life way too soon, for both his wife AND kids.
I remember his laugh as being very contagious.............. was a hell of good pool player along with fisherman.

When I think of Val I remember that big smile of his and he always seemed to be in a good mood. He was one of those guys you love because he is always the same. And I think of him in that neat as hell 55 chevy! I miss ya buddy, Danny
