He was also very cherished by numerous nieces and nephews who absolutely embraced his joyful loving presence. His absence will be deeply felt by those who had the pleasure of crossing paths with him. Val’s passing leaves a void in the hearts of his family and friends, but they take comfort in knowing that he lived a full and beautiful life. His lessons, his laughter, and his love will continue to guide them. In his passing, as in his life, Val leaves behind a legacy of warmth, connection, and an unshakable belief in the goodness of people.
