I have many found and loving memories of Uncle Vernon. Most of them was at Robinson Point camping and fishing. Whether it was when I was really young with my grandparents Matt and Waylean Treanor or as I got older with my mom Karen Lowder. Uncle Vernon's laugh is one I will always remember. He was full of love and joy. He will be greatly missed by many. My thoughts and prayers are with Aunt Maxine and family.

To Maxine and Vernon's family. We are so sorry, I remember the seventies when you would all camp at Robinson Point. I was always intending to keep in touch, but unfortunately never did. Joe W. Smith. the young ranger, but now old.
