I grew up with Mr. & Mrs. Study as one of our great neighbors down the street. Always very kind and looking out for all the kids on the street. Lumber Street has changed quite a bit since then, but I will never forget the kindness of he and his wife during my childhood. Blessing and prayers to the family. Thank you for the memories I will treasure for my lifetime.

To Vernon's Family,
It was my distinct pleasure and good fortune to have known and worked with Vernon during my time as a fellow employee of both Keystone Cabinet and Aristocraft Cabinet (1969-1975). He was at all times a gentle man as I recall, and an all around fine person. My sincere condolances to his entire family. May you all have peace knowing that he is at peace!

I am a volunteer at Golden Living and always loved interacting with Vernon. He was always eager to join our craft group and just fun to be with. The thing I will most remember about him was that he was a gentleman. God bless him, he was a joy to be around and will be sorely missed. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I am sorry to hear about your loved one. I remember him from growing up in Littlestown. I also visited him at Golden Living Center when I visited my Mother. He always had a smile on his face and was always happy. He will be sadly missed. God Bless all of you. Remember all the good times you had with him.

I met your father when I started playing the piano at Golden Living Center several years ago. He always had a ready smile for me, especially when I played Roll Out the Barrels for him! He was a lovely, lovely gentleman and I will miss seeing him! God bless you all.
