Val Church, beloved father, has left a lasting impression on all who knew him. Preceded in death by his wife, Dorothy, and children, Alan, Valerie, and Rickey, he is survived by his son, Kevin, and other cherished family members. He lived a life marked by quiet strength, dedication, and kindness. He found joy in simple pleasures-working with his hands, sharing stories from his past, and spending peaceful moments with family and friends. May his life be remembered with love, and his soul rest in peace.
