Jay van Andel's death date

Yesterday he was supposed to have died 6th December. Now it's 7th December on Recent Deaths (December 2004), but the date shown on his own page is 8th December. I know he was wealthy, but not even rich folks get to die 3 times in days. What is his true date of death? 203.37.77.9 22:42, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)

According to local Grand Rapids, Michigan media, December 7. Sorry, it was probably after midnight on Tuesday (err... that would make it Wednesday) when I wrote the original article, and so messed up my dates. Thanks for pointing that out. Euphoria 23:00, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Inflated claims?

I am confused as to how a person could have contributed $2 million to George Bush's campaign when persona contributions are capped at a far lower number. Are you suggesting that he broke US national law? Please see [1] for information about US campaign contribution. Nowhere on the top list (which caps out at ~$600,000) are any companies that are associated with Jay Van Andel. 68.84.1.200 (talk) 02:45, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Military service

The entry on his military service is very uninformative. So he was in the army for a few years. Where did he serve, what did he do? Was he active in veterans matters after the War?~Mack2~ (talk) 18:11, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
