I remember Vern as a Gentle Giant, soft spoken off the football field, and a Giant Force to deal with on the playing field. A person of his nature is hard to come by. Vern was a friend to all and a special classmate. I'm sad to hear of His passing. I will always remember and count Vern as a gentle and true friend. Bob Lowe

Vern was a great guy. While stationed in Germany I ran into Vern at the PX, and he invited me over to dinner to meet his wife. This was great. A moment I will never forget.
God Bless you Vern, and Thank You

I have very good memories of Vern. I was fortunate to play football with him. He always worked so hard to achieve his goals. I remember running around the track with him during practice. You could tell he was struggling at times but, he kept going. Quite a guy. It was very sad to hear of his passing and he will be missed by family and friends.
