My buddy & cousin Vern, best friend the only two Battersbys left in our families. Will miss the many great times we had in his old model A car & my 2004 mustang convertible, touring around town still acting like two young guys from the past.May the good lord bless you in heaven with peace no more suffering. Sure going to miss you buddy.
My condolences to all the family.
I have fond memories of Vern& Carolyn as far as the 1960s.We would get together on the weekends for bowling food and fun.
Just lots of teasing, joking laughter.
Inn the past few years we got together, and most recently when he got his vintage car. We would drive around the town and honk the horn.He loved that car...
He was a very sensitive, caring and lovely man.
Fondly,
Iris Trotter.
Uncle Vern will be greatly missed, a selfless and kind soul. He made my wedding day driving us to the ceremony in his cherished old car out of the goodness of his heart. Sending all of our love, rest in peace Uncle Vern.
I'm so sorry to hear of Vern's passing, he was warm, loving and genuine and brought me and my mother a lot of joy when we would go visit him. Seeing the joy in his face as he drove his old car around or just sitting listening to his stories he made me feel lucky just to know him. He was a bright spot in the world and I know he'll be sorely missed by everyone who knew him. Rest in peace Vern, you fought so hard and I'm just so grateful to have known you.
My condolences Liz, Brenda and Family. Your Dad was such a great man. He truly will be missed. Sending love and hugs during this very difficult time. RIP Vern

Uncle Vern was a caring and compassionate man who went out of his way to help those in need. He had a big heart. I am truly grateful to have had him as an uncle and know that he will be missed by many.
So many happy memories with Uncle Vern, he always made us laugh with his stories and was there for me throughout my lifetime. So sad with his passing but I believe he has been reunited with Auntie Carol who was his true love and soulmate. He had a good life surrounded by his loving family who meant the world to him. He will forever have a special place in my heart. Love Phil, Terri and families
Our condolences go out to the Battersby family. Vern was always helpful to Jack during their years working together at Wakely Cartage and was considered a friend. Our thoughts are with you at this time.
Sincerely, Jack & Paulette Herriot
My visits to Cobourg and Port Hope will never be the same, he was top of the list for us to visit. He always made me laugh and had a kind, gentle smile that was infectious. Brittany and I were lucky enough to ride in his wonderful old car, and will always remember the day we brought my sister in law along and ended up in Grafton. Rest in peace my dear friend and thank you for just being there.
Don and I wish to send our love and prayers to you all. Vern was such a special man, a gentle smile that expressed such warmth. Another angel in Heaven .
Very sad news to hear of his passing, we will remember his kindness, his conversation and his smile as he toured with my dad in the mustang.
Shawn & Sue Battersby, Daniel, Kayla, baby Everett and Colleen.
My Uncle will be missed by many and his smile and laughter will be missed by me the most. He was always kind and considerate to all he knew and showed his love to us all in so many ways. I know in my heart he is at peace and has rejoined family and friends that have already passed. Love you Uncle. William Battersby
