My dad, Clifford "Joe" Cox worked at the Life Insurance Company in Lincoln NE and got to know Vern from work. He and my mother were graciously invited to visit Michigan. My dad really enjoyed the trip and visiting Michigan. They brought back blueberries so big, we put them in the freezer and ate them like popsicles. When dad talked to Vern about how much us girls loved the blueberries, he wasn't prepared for the next season when Vern sent us a cooler of blueberries. What a sweet man! He was so thoughtful to mail them from Michigan to Nebraska! To this day, I remember how excited I was and how I thought "Mr. Vern" must be a really nice man - like Santa! Bless him and bless your family. He is with the angels!
