Our sincere condolences in the loss of your dear Husband, Father & Grandfather. Vern was such a nice guy. I will treasure our many talks over the decades I’ve known him. We’d often chat about cars or trucks wherever we may run into one another. Our conversations would always lead into the current goings on in the community. Vern was not only friendly but knowledgeable. I would always leave with a few great nuggets of wisdom. He (& Shirley) was also a valued customer for many years.
Our thoughts and prayers remain with you all. R.I.P. Vern.
