Paul VAN DOREN (1930)
US Founder of Vans Shoes

​

Maybe this is too parochial, but Paul (top right in the photo) with his brother James started Vans Shoes, about 15 minutes away from my childhood home in 1966. Immediately their deck shoes became must-have's in the Southern California surfer community. I remember for costumes in several talent shows growing up my mother would take the material she was sewing over to the Vans factory and they would make custom shoes for our costumes. Tragically the original factory burnt down in a fire you could see for miles (black smoke billowing out from all that rubber) - but they rebuilt, and later sold the company. The brand and the shoes are still being made and are still popular in the surfing and boating set.

Just read this HERE.

And only 22

Truly horribly sad...

Let's end with a quotation from Shakespeare's sonnett nr 146:

"But death once dead / there's no more dying then."

 

[ezekiel]

I remember I first saw him in MissionaryBoyz and I liked him immediately. Not just because he is incredibly cute and sexy (those eyes, those freckles...) but also because he seemed to be a great boy, you can immediately see that.
I was shocked to read about his death. 22, that's so young. And he always seemed so genuinely happy, joyful.

Today I also learned of the passing of Ryan Fields from BrokeStraightBoys, last month. I still remember Tyler White... So many
young guys, dying just like that. That's scary, terrifying, and very sad.
