Anyone who knew Vern had to love him. He was caring, always cheerful, and ornery at the same time. Wendell and I both loved the twinkle in eyes. You will be missed by everyone that knew you. The good Lord has gained an angel.
Blessings,
Wendell & Deb James
Dad has a great smile and is happy with our visit.

Vern, a sweet dear friend who taught me to drive a tractor so I could help him cut grass, thoroughly enjoyed my tacos or any Mexican food I made him. Thanks for all the good times my friend you will be sadly missed!
