Louise, his wife of 69 years, preceded him in death just three months ago and his only sister, Helena Grimberg, passed away just one month ago. He will be lovingly remembered by his children, Richard and Erika Van Aller, Linda and William Coeling, Tami Van Aller; grandchildren and great-grandchildren, Tim and Roxanna Coeling, Greg and Abigail Coeling (Calvin, Maggie); sister-in-law, Edith Vis; brother-in-law, Larry and Alma Brunsting; and many nieces and nephews.

Wendy and I were sad to read the obituary of Uncle Van in the GR Press this past weekend. Our deepest sympathy goes out to your family in the loss of your father so soon after the passing of your mother. We have many good memories of visiting with both of them. Towards the top, are the times that they invited us to Gun Lake to stay with them in the late 70s when our kids were small. We always felt at home when we were there with our kids. May God hold you close and comfort you. Love, Ron & Wendy
