September 27, 2023

AFA’s Roanoke Chapter unveiled the Scott Van Cleef memorial at the Southwestern Virginia Veteran’s Cemetery in Dublin, Va., on July 8, 2023. Numerous AFA leaders were in attendance. Van Cleef, who passed away on July 18, 2021, served his community in multiple capacities and was an instrumental leader for AFA as a Chapter, State, and Region President, as well as a former Chairman of the Board.

On July 18, 2023, on the two-year anniversary of his passing, AFA’s Roanoke Chapter #285 renamed itself the Scott Van Cleef Chapter to memorialize his lifetime of service, leadership, and friendship.
