Thoughts and prayers for all. Uncle Elvin was such a sweet man and I have many childhood memories of time spent on the farm with all of you. And also great memories of Uncle Elvin and Aunt Irene at the family reunions. Uncle Elvin will be missed by all that knew him.

Van, I will never forget you. You touched my heart from the first day I met you. We talked for hours that day. I loved hearing your stories. We played so many games of cribbage together. Out of all those games I think I only won one. Rest peacefully my friend. You will be sadly missed and never forgotten.

You will be sadly missed by many. It was a great HONOR knowing you!

Alvin was such a great uncle and we had a lot of good times with him when he came out to Las Vegas. We sure will miss him. God bless the family during these times. Love all Herb and Monalee

I know Van is probably planning a fishing trip to Canada with my Dad, Ed Kreis, as they did many years.
We are so sorry for your loss.
