Vern was an avid bike rider, loved taking walks at Pokagon State Park, playing golf, and spending as much time as possible with his grandchildren. Aside from his children, they were the light of his life. He loved being a Papa. And, even though he complained constantly about the family dog, he loved his beagle, Chevy. She was his walking buddy for years. To know Vern was to love him. He was a kind, generous person, who always worried about everyone else before himself. He was the best….the best Father, the best Husband, the best Papa, and a best Friend to many.
