Vern was a man of deep Christian faith, wholly devoted to his family. Known for his kindness, fairness, honesty, and infectious sense of humor, he brought joy and laughter to those around him.

He is also survived by his two sisters, Shirley McVicker and JoAnne Telle. He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Fred.
