Victoria Marie, a close family friend, shared a heartfelt tribute: “Van Allen has known me since the day I was born. My whole family, including myself, have all worked for him or with him at some point. As a little girl, I remember his first day open as just a deer processing in the little building that is known as ‘Greenfield Medical’. I basically lived in all his buildings growing up, and we’ve all always called each other family. This loss hits a little hard. Prayers for everyone affected by his loss.”
