Vernon Ganske Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
After marrying the love of his life, Mary Marsch, in 1963, they moved to Flagstaff in the late 1960's. He served the City of Flagstaff for twenty years, retiring as their chief building official in 1989.
Vern spoke at numerous churches in Flagstaff. He and Fred Vickers led the construction of the First Assembly Church on North 4th Street. He filled in for Brother Ford and helped, when needed, as interim pastor at the Four Square church in Flagstaff for about one and a half years.
Vernon leaves behind nephews - Paul Ganske, Dale Ganske (Joanne) and Lorin Ganske (Debbie), and nieces Brenda Hyde (Tom) and Delores Wuertly (Kenneth), Gloria Schneider (nee Kennedy), and cousin/caregiver Lesly Livingston.
You will be missed Vernon.

Uncle Vernon, you are the last monarch of the Ganske family. Thank you for all the conversations, the guidance and most of all for the care and love you gave me. I was blessed with great uncles. You are my last Uncle. You made me so very proud to be your niece. I will treasure your memories always. I miss you already. I love you with all my heart. Your niece, Deloris
