He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by brothers and sisters: Jarvis, Emmerson, Everett, Tom, Major, Nelder, Aletha, and Velda, brother in-law Bill Midford, sister in-law Charlene Midford and Mother and Father in-law Chris and Ranny Midford.

A final thank you to the many family and friends that have been by our side the last couple of years as Dad’s health started to decline. A special thank you to Dr. Kip, Dr. Prystawa, Dr. Hamilton, Dr. Inegbedion and the staff at Trinity Lane for your compassionate care.

Our family requests your continued prayer for Dad as we believe continued prayer helps the soul to reach its final destination in Heaven.

Dad, you fought a long hard battle and you are now free to reap the rewards that heaven has to offer you. Rest peacefully Dad. We love and miss you.

Vernon is resting at Kamloops Funeral Home and we welcome all family and friends to join us for a graveside service at Hillside Cemetery on Friday July 27, 2018 at 12:00 noon with Father Paul Simms officiating. There will be a gathering of friends and family afterwards at Kamloops Seniors Village multi purpose room, to allow us all to share fond memories and laughs to celebrate the life of this beautiful and talented man. Let’s remember his sense of humour and quirky wit that made us all laugh and thank him for the gifts he created for so many of us with his talented and creative carpentry skills.

In lieu of flowers, we ask that donations be made to the Kamloops Hospice Society.
