Through our unwavering commitment to an un-rushed, hearty lunch, most days of a working week, I got the chance to get to know Vantil and learn a lot from him. He had such a unique combination of light-heartedness and care for individuals around him. He did not take himself too seriously, yet excelled at most things he turned his mind to. I will miss him, so sorry that the family has to suffer such an untimely loss.
