Van Waugh, 73 passed away peacefully on December 2, 2016. Van was born on April 30, 1943 in Bluefield, West Virginia. Van's father, Colonel Buddy Waugh was career military and this gave Van and his brother, Goree, an opportunity to live in different parts of the world as they were growing up. Van graduated from Frankfurt American High School in 1961 in Frankfurt, Germany. After Van graduated from high school in Germany, his family moved back to the USA. Van made the decision to attend college in a small town in Western Kentucky, called Murray State College. It was there where he met his first wife, Linda Outland and was married in 1963.

Van moved to Texas in 1992 where he and his brother opened a retail sign store in Arlington, TX. Van and Carol Stodghill were long time companions before they married in a beautiful outdoor ceremony in Western Kentucky in 2014. Van and Carol traveled frequently to visit family in Kentucky, Indiana and California. They also had a memorable time and spoke about it frequently when they vacationed in Australia.
