A note from Roland Jackson…..I was saddened to learn that V.A. Van Buren had passed away on September 14, 2004. Van, as he was known by his many friends, was very active on the Yesterday’s Tractors Ford Tractor discussion board. He was very knowledgeable about machinery…actually, anything mechanical. He loved to share his mechanical knowledge.
Van was especially helpful to me in the power steering business. In the early days of Jackson Power Steering, Van was the very first customer to order a steering unit by phone and install the unit by himself. He was very helpful to me as he gave me valuable feedback on how I could improve the unit and make it easier to install.
Through the years, Van always kept in touch as well as his wonderful wife, Kay. I will certainly miss his email updates and pictures.
