My condolences to the family of Vernon Walters. He loved his family and his community. As a Boy Scout leader of Troop 425 he help mold the lives of many young men, myself included. He was a kind person and a good teacher.

I am so sorry to hear this about Vernon. I remember well the day I first met him. Neil Turner and I interviewed him for a job at the Champion Laurel Hill DC which was getting ready to open. From the minute I met him I knew he would be a great manager and a good friend. He was always both. My thoughts and prayers will be with this the family of this fine man in the days to come. RIP, Vernon. Your kind seldom comes along.
