Vernon NAISMITH Obituary
NAISMITH, Vernon George February 16, 1931 - May 15, 2011 With great sadness we announce the passing of our much loved father and husband. Survived by his wife of 57 years Sherley, daughters Joanne (Gary Burroughs), Laurel, and Cheryl (Dave Edge-Partington) and grandchildren Hilary Grover and Olivia and Adam Edge-Partington. After a successful career in the trucking industry, he retired to his true passion... the golf course. He was a long time member of Quilchena Golf and Country Club, affectionately known as his 2nd home. Over the years he and Sherley spent many wonderful holidays in sunny golf- filled destinations. He was a wonderful husband, father and a friend to many. We will miss his wit, his humor and his remarkable spirit. Celebration of Life to be held at Quilchena Golf and Country Club 3551 Granville Ave., Richmond, Friday, May 20 12:00 -3:00.

My deepest sympathy to Sherley and all the family over the loss of Vern. He will be missed by all who knew him.
I worked with Vern at Canadian Kenworth in the early sixties and everyone who worked with or for him respected him for the good person he
was. Rest in peace Vern.

Our hearts go out to you all with sympathy. You have been through so much and have lost greatness.
A wonderful husband, father, grandfather, uncle, friend, wit-slayer and ambassador of golf. I think Vern is already scoping out the best courses up there in heaven....all the other golfers up there are shaking in their golf shoes!!!
