I’ve always tried to imagine Vernon’s earlier years but my growing up years was from a different place….. as in NewCastle ,Delaware. We were so different but still had respect and love. I hope Susan and the kids are well. God Bless 😘

The first time I ever met Vernon was, I believe the fall of 1960. I was visiting a friend who played guitar for Vernon in a band that they had. Well, Tom, started playing some rock and roll rifts and Vernon began singing “Ain't Nothing Shaking but the Leaves on the Trees”, they did the whole song; an U do believe that it was loud enough that people a block away could hear them. Vernon and I did become best of friends, more like brothers. We were friends till the end.

Susan, Mary and Susanna. I am so sorry for such a great loss. Vernon and family were well loved. My friend, Vernon was way over my head but we did have things in common. The Good Lord , music, and comedy. He always treated me nice and respectful. I loved it when he shared his stories about his growing up days, ventures during ministry. I've read a few of his western cowboy books leaving a life time influence. Cowboy music is part of my preference. Vernon is missed and won't be forgotten . God bless Vernon and his entire family. In Love 😘

I remember one year in Kansas City at Halloween in the mid-70's "Uncle Vernon" and his family were visiting us. Vernon answered the door to a group of costumed kids and when they said "trick or treat!" he said "trick!" and reached out and grabbed one of their bags, yelling "Gimme that candy!". The kids stood there wide eyed and dumbstruck for several seconds before he handed the bag back and started passing out treats. They got a scare but they survived. They've probably been telling the same story every Halloween since. Vernon was a real kick in the pants! I'm sure that Susan and the girls appreciate how lucky they are to have had him for a husband and father.

The day I was confirmed into the church, Mr. Vernon introduced me to god, baptized me on cowboy Sunday, and confirmed me in the church on Easter.❤️

In life, you encounter many souls. Some good, some not so much. But, every now and then, you encounter a very special soul who leaves an imprint you carry in the treasure chest of your heart for life. Vernon Schmidt: thank you for the treasures.

I always loved hearing the funny stories about Vernon’s life, and will always enjoy the humor he passed down to his daughters. Vernon, I hope to catch you in the other side and maybe we’ll share a glass of whiskey.

With Love,

Jenny “Wanker”
