Another legacy of Sherman County Kansas going before us. To Anita and Kristi we give you our heartfelt condolences. His character will live on in all of us here in the Topside of Kansas.

Anita and Kristi, sorry for your loss. Your dad was such a fixture, and I know you will miss his presence. May your many wonderful memories bring you comfort in his loss.

Through Kristi and his work with the DSNGRR I have known LaVern for many years. Or so I thought! In reading his obituary I realize that there is so much more to the man than I ever knew! I'm proud to have known him.

Dear Anita and Kristi, I will never forget your father and the kindness he shared with my Mother and our family. Your memories of him will bring you comfort.

RIP Lavern. You were a fine friend. Durango has lost an icon. A touching and well-written obit.

Proud to have known LaVern! RIP fellow mountain lover! Mike Francis

Sally and Family, So sorry for your loss! He sounds like an amazing man and what a life well lived! May your memories be your comfort. Love to all, Kia and family

We didn't have the opportunity of meeting LaVern but, wish we had, LaVern sounds like a wonderful person to have as a friend! We will definitely try LaVern's ice cream on pancakes with double syrup! Thank you for sharing your wonderful story of LaVern's life and the family that so dearly loved him! Gregg and Jean Harlow
