Vernon's first love was his family, whom he adored, and worked hard to provide for his entire life. He was a great husband, father, Paw Paw and friend to many. He loved the outdoors and was an avid hunter and fisherman. His favorites were deer and turkey hunting, bass fishing and flounder fishing at Cherry Grove Beach. He enjoyed feeding and watching his hummingbirds. He was also an outstanding country style cook. Vernon was a strong-minded man with a soul that loved with no bounds and will be greatly missed. He loved the Lord and knew him as his Savior, which earned him pins for 12 consecutive years of perfect Sunday School attendance while growing up.
