Saddened to hear today that Mr. V has passed on. But he had a great run, and did a lot with his life. He had a significant impact on mine. Some profound, some humorous: I remember him telling me to ‘go out and kick the garbage cans’ (instead of somebody) when I was angry- and that when I did, he was pissed about the damage. But a great life message to young me. He gave up some of his re-loading and storage sheds so Ray Jr. and I could have our little photo lab. He had that cool Ford wagon with a 390, and he let us drive around in it at 16. I remember the Cessna. He was a fine pilot. He was the cool dad in the neighbourhood, and I could go on, but those who knew him probably take my point – he was a kind of surrogate Dad to many of us, and certainly a Mentor. RIP Mr. Vadeboncoeur - Posted by: Paul Johnston (Friend) on: Apr 11, 2016
