I was sad to learn that my great friend of over 30 years had died. Though I hadn't seen him in years, not a month goes by without mention of Vern in one conversation or another. In this way, while not now physically with us, Vern is always with us in spirit and will remain so. I owe him a great deal and I do miss our once regular lunches.

I send my best to all the Norvell family and I'm sorry I couldn't have been at the funeral.
