Vaughn was an amazing man. Loving, dedicated, knowledgeable, so affable and caring about everyone around him. He seemed to have endless energy and shared his cheerful countenance and encouraging words with all around him. He took such pride in his family and loved them completely. And took pride in providing for them. I was always amazed how he continued to work in his business and shop with dedication, competence, skill, integrity, determination, innovation! What an example he was to us in so many ways. How much we miss his dear presence! Maria, I keep you in my prayers. THANK YOU Vaughn for your love and example. THANK YOU Maria for your love and example and all of the care you take to serve your family. Thank you for all of the care you take to serve those around you.
