Vernon M. Otani

I will always remember the daily lunch dates with Vern. Willies, House of Hong, Cat Fish Corner... you name it we ate it. Vern loved taking his Chevelle to the race track and just hanging out. Vern the Ever Thoughtful and Giving. I miss you V.

Vernon has been a special part of our family for as long as I can remember. I’ll never forget when I turned 16 and got my driver’s license. The "Big VO” (as my Dad always called him) handed me the keys to his Jaguar and told me to take it wherever I wanted to go. [No way, it was a convertible!] I was so afraid to crash it but he told me not to worry and to wear my sunglasses.
I am honored that he trusted me enough to take his car that day and am very thankful to grow up with him as a...

When I a kid I always liked it when Vernon came over to the house. Not just because he often came bearing King Crab or Salmon, but because the house was just a fun place when Vernon was there - which usually conicided with a good meal. I still have the Morgan silver dollar he gave me in my sock drawer over 30 years ago. We'll miss him.

We have many wonderful memories of Vernon going all the way back to grade school. My family knew V.O. since we were very young .We will always remember the fun times we had together. We will always cherish his memory and are thankful for having him in our lifes.
