Vern worked with me in the 80s and 90s.His voice was so deep but quiet on the phone, people often thought he was on hold. Miss his smile and blue eyes, he could charm some of our gruffest customers with his charisma.
Many others also will miss him, so sad.

A good guy has left us too soon. I will always remember how patient he was with everyone while visiting in Wisconsin. He loved to fish but did what he had to do to help others first with water skiing, tubbing (yikes what an experience that was), baiting hooks, etc!! He just was so fun. Yes Vern "daddy" you will be missed. You will always be in our thoughts, prayers and hearts. We loved you ❤ Prayers also go out to Gail and the entire family to help them move forward.
