Vernon worked faithfully and tirelessly for his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, as a minister in the United Church of Canada for over 60 years. He brought a rich tradition of storytelling to family, friends and the community.

The family is very thankful for the great care and assistance he received while residing at Rosedale Manor. We are also very grateful for the kind and tender care given to Vernon by the staff of 7C at the Edmonton General Continuing Care Centre.
