My first memory of LaVerne was being shown around his bedroom with model airplanes hanging from the ceiling. He filled my head with imagination and wonder. A most cherished memory will always be that of riding with him through the countryside listening to his stories of family life long ago. I believe that LaVerne shared his heart with me, and that sometime, somewhere beyond the rain, somewhere over the rainbow weβll meet againβand share strawberry shortcake!

So sorry to hear of Roy's passing.
It is difficult to lose a friend and teacher.
He was always ready and able to share knowledge and experience.
And the farm tours in the "orchard car" rounded out every lesson in grand style.

Linda and Shelly, I am so sorry we have lost such a wonderful man. I was so fortunate to get to know Verne and spend time with him learning about our family history. Iβll miss his great sense of humor and knowledge about family and the area.

I was saddened to hear the news about Vern. We enjoyed many interesting conversations in the years since I moved to South Haven, an eclectic mix that usually focused on farming and jazz. Linda, Roxanne and I will stop and visit with you the next time we are in South Haven.

Vern did so very much for the South Haven Center for the Arts in years past. It was a pleasure to have known him.

So sad to hear of Vern's passing. Prayers and condolances to Linda and all his family! Vern gave me inspiration to try to play a clarinet, then a saxophone, letting me borrow his to try. Giving and caring person that had a love for growing things. I will miss the chats. - Vern
