\nhis family outdoors! He was the world’s best at creating something from
\nnothing! He could put a smile on anyone’s face and he was ALWAYS
\ndetermined to do that! His daughter asked him one time “Daddy, why are you
\nalways teasing the waitresses?” He responded, “Because I like to make
\npeople smile and take that ugly frown off their faces!” Yep.. that was LV!
\nA great man who always did the best he knew how! He will be truly and
\ndeeply missed!<\/p>\n
