V.E. Vandenburg

Sadly, Mr. Vandenburg passed away last week at the age of 104. His life memorial was held Friday afternoon and was attended by many in the Michigan chess community.  

Apologies for the late posting, I didn't find out until club on Friday myself.  I didn't know Mr. Vandenburg personally, but everyone that does has always spoken highly of him.  I'm confident his memory will live on for a long, long time.  The Vandenburg Cup will certainly remain one of Lansing's annual tournament events.

Please, if anyone has fond memories to share, post them in the comments.
