Not sure what to say?

Iris and family. So very sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. Sending my deepest condolences to you and your family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with The Petten family at this very sad time. Our hearts were broke to hear of your Dad’s passing . He was certainly a very young man at heart . We loved to meet him at the supermarket and have a chat . I met your Dad in 1973 when I came to visit with Iris . He was a wonderful family man and loved by so many . Hugs to all Claudine & Ron Noseworthy

We came to know Vern through friends and family. He was always a pleasant man who enjoyed helping others. His kind spirit was contagious and his demeanour calming. He was an inspiration to many, he lived a remarkable life
