Vern was my friend. As a member of the RCMP stationed in St. Paul, I met Vern in 2001. We swam together almost every weekend and I so enjoyed his fatherly words, view of life and the affection he gave freely to friends. I think about him often and was saddened to hear today of his passing. Vern traveled far, over many roads in his life, I know on the last part of his travels he made the world around him a better place. We would swim his age in lengths on his birthday each year, I will try and do that today.
