One of a Kind

Val was a gentleman full of kindness and wit. He and I attended high school together and I have great memories of playing on the Los Al tennis team with him. We were Team Swolllen, which was the brand of uniform of if I remember correctly, and we would not have been that great bunch of guys without Val’s humor and influence. There is a hilarious photograph of us showing our Team Swell that is out there. I don’t have a memory of Val without a smile and laughter. Sending peace and love to Val’s family and army of quality friends. Also, sending the man himself much peace and love. We miss you already Val!!
