Condolences to Rev. Vernon Hurles" family. I am certain that Brother Hurles is in Heaven. I always remember him fondly as the reverend who preached those fiery, energetic sermons each week at the Nazarene Church in Batavia, OH. I remember that he also drove our VBS bus to pick up and take back home us children who were going to VBS. Our congregation truly missed him when he moved to another church, but we all had a wonderful picnic together with and for the Rev. Hurles and his family at the Sportsman's Club in Batavia, OH. A job well done, Rev. Hurles. Thank you!!

Condolences to the Hurles family. When I was a teenager he was the Pastor at the Cridersville Ohio Church of the Nazarene. He was such an inspiration to me as a teen and you always knew he would preach a fiery sermon. He was a wonderful man and great example. He will be missed but what rejoicing going on in Heaven.
