Sorry to hear of your loss Brenda. Remember the days Don and Vern worked together in the boat building business and good times shared. My thoughts and prayers are with you and family members. Cheryl Johnston
Brenda, family & all who know and love Vern, since the mid 80’s & the days of Cary Marine, I enjoyed the kinship that all the guys had. I especially tuned in on the gift/hope that Brenda &Vern’s relationship brought. These memories have brought so many smiles over the years as they come to mind. My thoughts are with you all now & in the future. Always, Sid
I had the pleasure of knowing Vern as a good friend and coworker. Vern was always there if you had a project and needed his expertise to complete. We had many great memories over the years especially on boat trips up north.
Being a perfectionist, Vern worked very hard to make sure things ran smoothly. Only when his work was done did he take a few moments to relax and share a cold beverage or two.
Vern will be greatly missed by all who knew him and our deepest sympathies go out to Brenda and the DeJonge family.
Rest in peace my friend.
Dave and Teed Schulz
