Dear Linda, I was so sad to hear that your father had died. I have been out of town and did not know until today. Vern and I kept up a little after Martha Ann and Jerry died and I knew he was not well. I am thinking of you and your family at this time. Much love, Louise Perlitz

To the McGrew Family,
I hope I can speak for the entire Rice Track and Field program and, I hope can speak for my fellow Rice track alums, when I say how sorry we are to hear about the passing of Vern McGrew. There have been many talented athletes at Rice over the last 100 years, but very few that could equal or surpass the exploits of Vern. His event was the High Jump and his dominance of both the Southwest Conference and the NCAA is one that legends are made of.
He was one of Rice's first Olympians, a feat that we at Rice still promote in our media guides and in fact books today.
I am happy to say that Vern's name will live on at the Rice Track and Field complex as the High Jump Area has long been the "The Vern McGrew" High Jump.
Vern McGrew was one of the great ones. Our deepest sympathy to you all.
Sincerely,
Jon Warren, Head Coach, Men's Track & Field, Rice University

Since we wont be having a Memorial service until this summer I have decided to eulogize you here now.
I'm heartbroken to think that two of the most influential people in my life are now gone. You and Marmie helped shape the man I have become. I thank you for everything you have done for me. The list is too long to write here. I'm thankful that i wrote you that letter after we lost Marmie.. It was touching to still find a copy of it in your desk drawer a few weeks ago. I meant every word in it. You have pushed me to follow my passion in real estate and I promise I will follow through with your wish. I will get it done this year. You will never know how much I appreciated you extending me the "townhouse project." It has been a true test and trust me there will be many more projects to come. I am devastated that you won't be able to see the finished product. I hope I make you proud. You gave me lemons and I have made a hell of a batch of lemonade. You won't be disappointed. You have been an amazing grandfather, pal, and business partner. Until we are all sitting around the dining table again I raise my scotch and toast to all the memories we have shared together. Please give Marmie a hug and kiss for me. I love you! Mark
