Vern was one of four children who grew up in southern Indiana. Before retiring, he owned and operated Vern’s Excavating along with his wife, Marilyn.

During 39 years of marriage, Vern and Marilyn enjoyed traveling to different states seeing the many historical sights. They were avid bicycle riders and would ride their bikes throughout the neighborhood for hours on end.

Vern liked to watch old western movies, play euchre, and go hunting.

Vern was preceded in death by his wife, Marilyn Bolen, in 2017.

Survivors include his stepsons, Hugh E. (Pam) Nettleton, Jr., and Daniel Nettleton; grandson, Michael Nettleton; and granddaughter, Amanda.

Due to the pandemic regulations, a committal service will be scheduled for a later date in Carmel Cemetery.

In memory of Vern, contributions may be given to the Wounded Warrior Project, 230 W. Monroe St. #200, Chicago, IL  60606.
