Vern was born in Preston, Ontario where he met and married his first wife Christene. They raised a family in Kitchener where he taught history at Cameron Heights.  Vern was very active as an Elder, Youth Leader, and Layperson in the Mennonite Church.

After Christene passed away in 1990, Vern met Carol Snider at a Stanley Park grief group and they married in 1992.  They lived in Waterloo and then Elmira for many years before moving back to KW.   Both spent the last part of their lives at Sunnyside where they received excellent care until February 19, 2025 for Carol and February 19, 2026 for Vern.

Special thanks to the staff at Sunnyside for their care and compassion, and to Harvey and Arlene Kehl for their loving devotion.
