I'm Don Muellers brother-in-law and was fortunate to play golf with Vern a few times. Even though it was a few times he was a man that showed what it was like to be a real family man. He treated me as if he knew me for a lifetime. My condolences to his family. He will always be in your heart.

Our sincere condolences to a family always respected for their honesty, caring, giving, and standing up for the truth. Vern was the example as to what all Rotarinas should be. He guided me through my years of Rotary in the early 1970's and was instrumental in my Presidency in the Antioch Rotary Club. A true family man who will be missed by all.
