Van Pieter Wyckoff

Van Pieter Wyckoff, born June 9, 1950 in Quantico, Virginia to parents Don P. Wyckoff and Dorothy (Norwood) Wyckoff, passed away Friday, July 22, 2022. Van was a devoted husband to his wife Nancy of 51 years, a beloved father to Kristin Wyckoff and the late Van Kory Wyckoff and a loving grandfather (Vanpa) to Cora and Van (Dash) Goodier. He is survived by his older brothers Claesen Dirk and Rickard Jan (Ric), son-in-law David Goodier, sisters-in-law Sandy and Cheryl and his nephews and nieces.

A skilled musician, Van retired from a remarkable career in the record industry after which he filled his days working part time, playing basketball, jogging and taking daily walks with his adored dogs. An avid athlete, he struggled with his decreasing mobility and chronic pain in recent years. A natural comedian, he used his sharp sense of humor to navigate his world and connect with people. Never at a loss for words, Van will be remembered for his warm smile, quick wit, a good book, a crossword puzzle challenge and his love for his family and Crofton, Maryland neighbors and friends. A celebration of Van’s life will be announced at a later date.
