In Memory of Howard Stampley

Hello VPHOA homeowners 

We had some very sad news during the Christmas Holidays. Our past treasurer for two years, Howard Stampley, has passed away after a long battle with cancer. He served our community for two years while battling cancer and never showed the pain he was going through. His smile and positive approach to life, kept the HOA pushing. It was an honor and a joy to have him in our lives.

His family is doing fine and even though his death came during a time of celebration, they are celebrating his life with them and our community should do so as well.

Please keep Howard’s family in your prayers as they go through this very difficult time. Attached is the information regarding services and visitation if you would like to attend.
