In Memoriam
Vern was the most irascible, pain-in-the-behind, fun, generous,
infuriating gentle soul! That’s a whole mouthful right there and Vern
was it. Pick an emotion and Vern could play it for you! We all loved that
man no matter what the mood! Hugely kind-hearted, a terrific listener,
generous beyond, Vern has been described as every adjective under the
sun and yes - they are all true. Every word!
One of Vern’s many friends and acquaintances had this to say, “He was
simply quirky, kind-hearted and a real breath of fresh air. He would tell
tales of Tybee old and his sailing days and his work at the ports with
zest and zeal, always accompanied by that classic Vernie laugh. I don’t
remember getting to say goodbye to him that last moment I saw him,
but I say I’m lucky enough to have known him as a friend and I truly
miss him more than I ever thought I would.”
Another friend said, “Vern was an observer of people – he knew bullshit
but loved you anyway! He was a great listener, an amazing and generous
individual and he could be infuriating and make you laugh at the same
time.” That is a talent there! “Vern never had a bad word about anyone
and with all of his heart, everyone was given the benefit of the doubt. He
was a true friend and loved by many, but what no one ever realized was
that when he was at the Wind Rose, all of the people who sat with him
and gave him an ear made him feel like he was the richest man alive.”
Vernie, we will see you when it’s time. Until then, rest peacefully and
know that you are a man of many adjectives and will most certainly be
missed by all of Tybee.
