Vern was a special friend and a great person who always brightened your day. We fished together until he retired and took up golf. He loved Arizona. He was someone I and others could always count on working at UNIVAC Roseville or outside of work. I had the pleasure of visiting Vern and Kay in both MN and Mesa, AZ and he always made you feel like family. I regret that I have not seen his smiling face for the last couple of years but enjoyed my last phone conversation with him this year in Mesa. He was always cheerful and upbeat.

Vern was a wonderful friend and co-worker. Vern, Terry Henry, Clyde Graham, Diane Steen and myself had many fun discussions over lunch on how we could change the world into our way of thinking. Vern sold many plants at Unisys to support the Lions Club, which helped many young childern. Vern was such a giver, always helping others and enjoyed doing it. My prayers and thoughts go out to all his family especially Kay.

Dear Larson Family,
My stepfather, Elmer Heppner and Vern were very good friends. I believe I may even have golfed with Vern on a number of occasions when I went with Pop. I also recall Vern at the Lions meetings and functions. He was a great guy, I'm sure Elmer and a few of the others will be happy to include him in their "heavenly" foresome!

Take care and God Bless You
