LaVerne took after his dad, Myron, farming and making sure whether planting or harvesting- everything was done the best it could be. He loved all his family and going on vacations to Wisconsin with his children and grandchildren. Riding his Harley with his wife Linda or friends around the area was his new-found joy, and oh how he enjoyed special times in their new Arizona winter home with new-found neighbors and friends.
