Vern was an accomplished business owner of VSK Equipment and enjoyed creating fun memories with family & friends. Vern treasured his time traveling with wife Peggy in their RV visiting historical sites, museums, friends, and making sure to stop at VFWs on the way. Many laughs were guaranteed when you joined him at happy hour with one of his stories, jokes, or his funny t-shirts he wore just to see your reaction.
A Celebration of Vern’s life will be scheduled at a later date.
So sorry to hear of your brother’s passing, Beetzie! Let us know if there is a gathering! Love you, Lee and Jack
