Vess joined the US Army as a young man, and had many stories to tell of his time stationed in Thule Greenland. After leaving the Army, he became an accomplished factory-trained Mercedes-Benz technician, able to fix anything that rolled through the doors.

Vess loved God, and had an abiding faith that inspired and encouraged others. He loved his family and was a comfort and inspiration to them.

Vess enjoyed playing golf, and fishing. Many wonderful days were spent with his children, either on the golf course, or by the water with a fishing pole in hand. We all treasure these memories, and miss him very much.
