Vern was a dear friend, met at the Donut Wheel in Livermore five days a week to settle World Problems!!!?  After Yvonne's death he traveled in his fifth wheel as do we; often meeting in Arizona (winters) or when he returned to Livermore to visit  Yvonne's resting place.  A delightful story teller, everyone listened as he humorously related past experiences.  Kind and loyal, miss you, Vern.
