Family flowers only. Vernon had a great respect for the volunteer fire department so donations in his memory may be made to a local fire department of donors’ choice.

There are so many to thank including family, friends, neighbours, and medical staff who attended to Vernon as well as the D.O.T. who assisted the family in getting to the hospital.
