Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever. His love for fishing and sharing will always be remembered. Most cherished are the times he took time to give my granddaughter Kelsey "tours" of his Debbie truck. Her arms were always full of treats as she would exit the rear of the truck and she always knew when to look for Mr. Vernon. We will all miss him terribly, as we always knew when the fish were biting good, he was all in a "dither" getting fishing gear down on the shore. He truly enjoyed this past time and visits with friends. Love to all.
