James Vernon Glade, 91, slipped into the eternities on March 2, 2012 in Montpelier, Idaho, where he and his companion of sixty-nine years had travelled to spend time with their beloved only daughter and her nurturing family. The feisty ninety-one-year-old succumbed to causes incident to age and wear and tear.
Vernon was born to James Vernon and Bessie Cushing Glade on November 26, 1920 in Salt Lake City. He is one of eight children. He is survived by his brother, Dale; and sister, Jackie (Alan) Jacobsen. He was preceded in death by his sisters, Louise, Ruby, Virginia, and June; and brother, Gordon "Bud." He was also preceded in death by a great-grandson, Maxwell Chase Matthews.
Vernon was a Granite High Farmer and also attended the University of Utah. He married Beverly Cleone Butterworth in the Salt Lake Temple on July 8, 1942. He spent their first three years of marriage living out a paradox of a master sergeant in the Army assigned as 1st Mate on a supply boat plying the Aleutian Theatre. He met his daughter when she was three years old.
Vernon labored heroically in the business started by his father, Glade Candy Company, and developed not only legendary patience and kindness, but also an unsurpassed skill as a confectioner.
Vernon was a lifelong resident of East Mill Creek, a High Priest in the East Mill Creek Stake, and held many other callings. He was involved with the Western Boys baseball program, and teaching the young boy's gymnastics program. He and his wife served a mission for five years in the LDS church Welfare Square Employment Center.
Vernon's obsessions included plaid vests, Chet Atkins, bowling, golf, German Shepherds, high bars, tops, light houses, fast cars, Jim and Elliot, peanut clusters, and toffee. A lifelong member of the American Legion, Vernon served as commander of Holladay Post #71 and maintained his relationship with the former soldiers with a fierce loyalty.
Vernon is survived by his wife, Beverly; and four children, Pamela (Anthony) Wuthrich, Scott (Claire), Dennis (Denise), and Jeffrey (Rachel). His legacy includes eighteen grandchildren, twenty-eight great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild. Muzzer and Papa's home was open to all and sundry, Vernon relished his role as grandfather.
Funeral services will be held in the East Mill Creek Second Ward Chapel, 3750 South Hillside Lane (2600 East), East Millcreek, on Saturday, March 10, 2012 at 12:00 p.m. Friends may call prior to the services from 10:00 to 11:45 a.m.
Interment will be in the Elysian Burial Gardens Cemetery, 1075 East College Street (4580 South), Millcreek.
