The Port de Grave Peninsula Heritage Society was very sadden to lose one of its founding members on Friday, January 17, 2025, Vernon Petten age 90.
On behalf of the Port de Grave Peninsula Heritage Society we would like to extend our deepest sympathy and condolences to the family of the late Vernon Petten 1935-2025.
To Shirley, Ross, Iris, Ina, Ivy, Laverna, Blair their families, and to all of Vern’s extended family and friends please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Vern was a member of the Port de Grave Peninsula Heritage Society since the very beginning back in the 90’s and have been a dedicated member right up to the time of his passing. Not only with the Heritage but with the Fishermen’s Museum. His love for the peninsula and his volunteer work will be missed. He was always there to lend an hand, his truck, his tools, his financial support whatever you needed and he had it we got it!
He will be missed around the table when we have our meetings or just to meet for a lunch. When we meet again, he will be fondly remember and there will be many conversations of Vern and how much he will be missed.
He dedicated his life to helping others and will be sadly missed.
To his family and friends, treasure all your memories!
God Bless you Vern you are a treasure……
