With our deepest sympathy to Vance's family. We enjoyed many a visit with Vance in the short time since our arrival at Bonaventure--Morning Star. He shared his love of our hometown meat market where their specialty was country sausage in Richardton, ND. But most of all we appreciated his words of comfort and prayers of concern for Raymond in December and January when he had to go to Mayo Clinic to have an aortic valve replaced. We agree Vance was a very fine exampele of the "Greatest Generation."

To the family of Vance Holbrook. I am truly sorry for the loss of your father and grandfather. I enjoyed visiting with him at "Bonaventure" when my parents Johnny and Hilda Krieger were there. He was always such a good story teller and a very cute "Santa". God Bless you all. Darlene and family

Many prayers to Vance's family. I know my parents, Dick and Gwen, will miss him. Vance was the "Cribbage King" at Bonaventure/Morning Star and my Dad enjoyed playing cards with him. I attended a few gatherings where Vance led the Rosary - he was a faithful man. When reading about his service, I couldn't help but think how happy I am that he was able to experience an Honor Flight last year.

I'm very sorry for your loss. Vance truly was one of the world's greatest gentlemen and a friend to me for many years; he was one of the few people I've met in my lifetime that I very much admired. Again my condolenes and prayers!
