Just learned of Vernon’s passing. I only knew him professionally while I worked as a Botanist with the Nova Scotia Museum. We consulted each other on all things botanical and landscape. My condolences to all.

Condolences to the family.Vern was a  former classmate at NSAC.

So sorry to hear of Vernon’s passing. We studied together at NSAC. We saw each other a few times over the years. He was always passionate about his career. Condolences to the family. 

Vernon ; 
Your always there. When I was just a boy you taught me how to start to become a man. 
We worked for 3 different seasons together ; a spring, summer, and a fall. 
Ever since we have remained connected. 
I reached out in august and was to connect as we often did  every year after near 30 years,  so the year we had together shaped me.  Thank You. You have finished well and to Brenda - we never met however you were most all he ever spoke off other than turf and ice. 

Sorry I was delayed. I had a feeling and sent you a message couple weeks back. 

Your Friend 
Love Ya Vernon.

Condolences to Vernons family and friends.I only knew Vernon briefly as we were in same hospital room recently for about a month.

My condolences to Brenda and Vernon’s family.
My 40 year career at Parts for Trucks spanned almost the same time as Vernon’s which allowed me to work closely with him, particularly in my first 20 years when I was more directly involved in sales.  
Quite simply, Vernon was a wonderful customer.   He often had very specific ideas on his plows and other truck-mounted equipment and while they were sometimes peculiar, it showed his innovative thinking and the pride he took in his work.   All we had to do was follow his instructions and we had a happy customer!  And I will be quick to add, a loyal and appreciative customer too; a customer we were proud to consider as a foundation to our business success.  
I was so pleased to read of Vernon’s industry recognitions.  He was certainly deserving and I am sure, a highlight of his career. 
Again, my condolences.

Retired and former owner of Parts for Trucks


I interacted with Vernon in relation to projects with  Edmonds Landscaping from circa 1992 up this past year. What a fine person, so professional but always cheerful and he just gave one a good feeling to be working with him. He was an artist; still when I go by the NS Museum, I recall the beautiful  and instructive floral displays he maintained there for many years.   Then in the last few years, even while recovering from surgeries etc he would accompany a group of us doing an annual inspection of the organically maintained turfs at St. Marys University in the early fall. True to form, Vernon was Vernon, realistic but always optimistic about life, not dwelling on himself.  He still gave me that good feeling, about working with him, and about life. Thank you, Vernon. Thank you to Vernon's family and friends for this wonderful man.

Dear Brenda ; We extend our sincere sympathy on your loss. We hope you can find comfort in all the  fond memories you shared with Vernon. Take care .Love Jim & Janelle

Brenda, I am so sorry for your loss. I am unable to attend the visitation but you will be in my thoughts. May your fond memories of  Vernon help you through this difficult time.

I first met Vernon in 1977 when a gardener at the place I was working in Dartmouth suggested Vernon, a classmate of hers, to advise and help with a gardening problem I had. Since then our encounters have been periodic over the years but each time our paths crossed it was as if we just picked up where we last ended our conversation. He was so lighthearted and kind. He was brimming with garden knowledge and any project he undertook for me always put me back on my gardening feet so I could continue where he left off. I last spoke with him in 2018 and did not know he was ill. The world is a darker place with his passing. I offer my sincere condolences to his family and close friends. 

Brenda,  it was always enjoyable to see you and Vernon when we got together with our SMU friends. I am so sorry for your loss, and I’m glad it’s over for him. 
Hugs from Ottawa.  Pat. 

I am so very sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of Vernon and his friendship when I worked for the company years ago. I can still hear his laugh, see him in the driver’s seat of his dump truck…gone, but not forgotten.

We enjoyed a few meals together over the years while camping and enjoying seasonal gatherings. The kids enjoyed the chocolate milk for the potlucks!  Always the sensible one to ensure an early start to tend to the gardens/roads!   Our sincere and heartfelt condolences to Brenda and family.  Hold your memories close! ❤️❤️  RIP. 

Brenda Pate  - I am so sorry for your loss.    Christine Hoyt

Dear Mary, Gavin, Val and Patrick,
I'm sorry to hear of Vernon's passing. I remember his Sunday visits with your Dad. He had a wonderfully, dry, sarcastic sense of humor.  He always had interesting stories to share and laugh was infectious! He will be missed.
 Wishing you peace and comfort during this difficult time.


So sad to hear of his passing.  I worked with him for many years and he taught me few things over the years.  I have a great deal of respect for him.
