Bill Paul
I met Vern in 2001 when I started taking helicopter lessons from him. He was a great instructor who was very patient with his students. This started a 25-year friendship that I greatly valued. I would fly down to visit at his hangar and enjoy a cup of coffee, one of Joann’s
cookies and an occasional watermelon. In later years, I would visit him at his house and enjoyed his stories. He will be missed!
