Vernon and I grew up in the same building on Polk Street in Chicago, and our families were very close. I am very sorry for your loss. Ron Tuchman

Jordan,
So very sorry to learn of your Father’s death. I really enjoyed his company, and learned a lot from him. He was a gentleman, and I respected him very much. My condolences to all of your family. May his memory be a blessing to you all.

What a kind, caring, and generous man who never forgot family, friends, or someone he just came upon in life. Vern continually would dream dreams ( for new businesses, potential ideas for future growth). And now he is asleep, probably still dreaming dreams.

What a wonderful, caring, and generous man who always remembered family and friens as well as those he just came across through life. Vern never stopped dreaming dreams (about businesses, what can be new and flourishing). And now he is asleep, probably continuing to dream.
