Rest in eternal peace, Vern, with God's loving arms wrapped around you and your loved ones. Have such fond memories of chatting with you at the Perma Stone when I was growing up in the 1950s. So few of you from the greatest generation are now left, and I'm sure you're all up there in Heaven having the greatest time reminiscing the Good Old Days after WW II in Galeton/Germania/Gaines!
