Vernon built many houses. He was a master in Carpentry. He loved being on the water and at one time had a commercial workboat for crabbing. He enjoyed going out just for a ride to clear his mind. He loved to camp and recently finished a one week camping trip in early September 2023. More than camping and boating he loved riding his Harley with his best buddy Bob Stone. They traveled all over and had many fun adventures. He enjoyed spending time with his family.
