I'd give anything to be there, but I can only be there in spirit.

Thanks for all you gave to us all.

Bad link, but for those who didn't remember George Pfeifer...the smile...

Hey Rick,

I don't know if you were trying to link to the obituary but this is the link to it, mention of the memorial service is at the bottom.

I never had the honor of meeting the Master Chief but had heard of him. He was one of the legends.

Hey Russ,
Yep... I copied the wrong link, but since James provided it earlier I just thought I'd leave the photo link of George Pfeiffer up.

Van was one for the ages. It was a great honor to work for and with him. His trademark green fatigues help earn him the affectionate handle of "truckie" while on watch by the junior personnel.

I'll never forget sharing a beer with him and some newfie friends out in Placntia. When Van laughed the whole world laughed with him. He will be missed.
