Mr. Weaver,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your years of dedicated service and sacrifice-first for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army during the Cold War and secondly for the citizens of Multnomah County when you served as a Corrections Officer-the toughest job in Law Enforcement. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

To the family of Vern - our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

We knew Vern during his days down at "Lots of Shops." His kindness and his sense of humor were treasured by all of those that were touched by him. We are especially grateful of the cartoon drawing he did of my mother. Because of Vern's insight, we have this cartoon drawing of her that just epitomizes her life. It just goes to show you how much Vern not only loved his artwork, but the people in his artwork.

Prayers out to you all.

Jackie (and Frances) Diehl

Dear Weaver Family- we were saddened to read about Vern. We both remember him well from MCSO. He was one of Mickey's trainers and enjoyed doing sketches. He did one of Mickey and Ken Harris and until then, she had no idea she was considered short.I worked with Vern his entire 23 years and will always think of him as a good friend.He was a kind, funny,gentle soul.

Dear Weaver Family,
I am sorry to hear of your loss. Vern will be missed by all who knew him. He was a kind and out going neighbor, one that would always say hello and stop and chat if you had the time. These kinds of neighbors are harder and rare to find these days, but I'm glad to have spent time with one. My thuoghts and prayers are with you all, God bless.

Dear Mrs.Weaver and Family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one. Vern was a great man and will be sorely missed by many people. I met him when we were working the voting polls. I now live in Kansas, so will be unable to attend the service. My prayers, thoughts and sympathies are with you and yours. May God comfort you at this sad time. Sincerely, Mary C. Cronin

Vern was one of the kindest men we knew in Alamogordo. Most people will remember his quick wit, and his skilled cartooning. I will never forget his generousity when he drove with me to Las Cruces one day to pick up a car that we had to have towed there. We got caught in a roadblock on the way home, and he kept his good humor. Janae and I grieve with you in your loss.
