I knew Verne in recent years from my work for Oak Hammock clientele, and found him very humble and decent, reminding me of my father and his generation. He didn’t let on about his work for BH and WB. I admired how he visited his wife in a care center every day. Their children must be very proud, and feel fortunate to have had parents like them.
What a beautiful tribute to your Dad! Such life accomplishments! Brought a smile and a tear to my face. Rest In Peace.

Dear Mary , John and Sara,
So sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. What a lovely , loyal and kind man he was. He was a stalwart friend to my parents and I always enjoyed seeing hm when visiting mom and dad. I know he will be missed greatly. It was a pleasure and honor to know him and your mother. The care and love he provided your mother was inspiring and touching,

I had the pleasure of meeting John as part of my volunteer work with Haven Hospice. I brought him a birthday greeting from Haven. A thoroughly delightful man to visit a couple of times. Lee Crane.
