Dear Family: My words simply can’t express my feelings. “I’m sorry for you loss” doesn’t seem adequate. I’m honored to have known him and oh so thankful you shared him with me. For 46 years, PaV taught me me right from wrong, coached me to be a better human being,
and most of all, he loved me. His laughter and stories he shared always had us laughing (he even had himself laughing which made us laugh even more! ).
PaV was a great man, in my opinion. As I became a Dad and grew older, I learned to respect and appreciate him more and more. His dedication to being a Christian, husband and father led me to try harder to emulate him. He had and always will have a positive impact on my life.
Both he and Nanna made their home a refuge and an escape, from whatever it was that troubled us. At the Viznat home, you felt welcomed, understood, loved and respected. Things that we often didn’t receive at our own homes.
From Little League, Church, and Boy Scouts, to being the best man at our wedding, PaV was always there. Always living us.
So again, Nanna, Karl, Kevin and Melissa: thankyou for sharing PaV with us. The world list a great man and heaven gained an Angel.
God bless all of you.

Mr V to all of us who knew him from Boy Scouts. Always smiling. Fun loving. On special campouts he Used to tell us each to bring whatever meat we liked to eat and he would cook a stew or a gumbo or a sauce piquant. It was always good. My Prayers of grace and peace for all his family and friends. Wish we could keep our fathers here forever but our father in heaven has them now.
