My father (Gene Brooks) died in 2013, and most of the visitation was a blur, but I will always remember this fatherly gentleman, with the kindest eyes and voice, approach me and tell me how he knew my father from work and what a fine man he was. Vernon, I will always remember your kindness when I needed it the most, and I'm sorry that I didn't get to know you better. Clay Brooks Marshall University
