To my dear uncle, who by the way he lived his life, left such a high legacy that few, if any, could dare to match. A rich man was he, not because of great riches, but because of all the many friends and family that he loved and that loved him. Rest in Paradise uncle Vern until we meet again. Jim, Cynthia, Miranda, & Seth Zweigle

We would like to express our deepest sympathy for your loss. We pray that you will experience God's comfort. Even though Vernon was my first cousin, I sadly never got to know him but know that one day, we will be reunited in heaven.

I remember Vernon best as a child on the farm in North Dakota. He and my brother, Gary, playing together. I talked on the phone with him last year for the first in many years. I'm glad I had that very nice conversation with him. I pray the Lord will comfort all of you. God Bless you.

I knew Vern from RHS. Not sure but I think we went to Mt. Olive together. Many years ago. He always had a great smile and was friendly to everyone. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
