Vernon Leroy Daeley

May he rest in peace, he was one of my favorite clients and I'm honored that I got to be part of caring for him during the last 10 or so months before he passed. I always loved listening to his stories.

Vern was one of my fishing and hunting partners for many years.
Vern and Mary Lee were my wife and my great friends.
We were both in the same coffee club here in Colville for many years.
I´m sure he is up there with Mary Lee and happy now.
I´ll be joining you soon.

I remember one Christmas season when it was extremely cold outside. I was in elementary school and home for Christmas break. I saw the truck pull up and invited him in for some fresh baked Christmas cookies and hot cocoa. He parked his truck and came in, sat down, and enjoyed the break. We had a very nice conversation before he continued on his way. My mom was a little surprised by my actions, but thought my generosity was heartfelt. I should note that before I invited him in, I forgot to ask her permission first. When he left he had an extra plate of cookies for the road. I always thought that he was a very kind person, and I looked forward to his deliveries. My heart goes out to his family and friends during this difficult time. Linda Burnett Larson

He was a helluva baseball coach. He and my dad Vern Kettel (Vitamilk Dairy) were good friends. Rest in Peace Mr. Daeley...thanks for all you did for us!

Mr. Daeley was our milkman from 72 to 83, and could not have been a nicer guy. I'm very sorry to learn of his passing, and wish his family all the best in this trying time.
