I knew Vern through LADOS and Widow & Widowers and also dancing at the Ponderosa Ballroom. He was a sweet, kind man. My sympathy to all of his family. you were lucky to have him.

Vern & Phyllis were friends of old with my parents Richard & Vivian Martin...many good times. I last saw Vern last year at my mom's apartment & he was the serene, kindly gentleman, lovable as always. Godspeed Vern!

All of us at The Depot in Norway will miss u pops may u rest in peace.

Thinking of all of you and your love for Vern. I know how much he meant to each of you, probably in very different but very impactful ways. He seemed to always have a smile on his face when I saw him, especially when dancing.:) and a smooth dancer he was. He was a very kind and thoughtful man. I know his soul feels all your love now. May you be comforted in that. Kimm
