As a young family we moved to Allendale in the mid 60's. Vernon was such a wonderful help to us. He was so kind and could fix anything. He always had a part or item we needed to repair things. We had an old farm house and he was so good about giving us advice on how to do it for less money. Thank you Vernon and Rachael for all that you did for us for so many years. My prayers go to Rachael and her family. With sincerest sympathy, Suzette (Terpstra) Axdorff and family.

He loved the Lord and walked the Christian life as best he could. What better legacy could he have left?
I love him by holding on to the good times and forgiving the bad. He was my Mother's husband and will always be my Daddy.
