He farmed with his dad until he entered the United States Army in September of 1945. He served his country while stationed in Japan. He was honorably discharged in January of 1947.
He was united in marriage to Marjorie McCarthy on November 27, 1948, at St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Jackson, Nebraska. The couple farmed and raised livestock in Plymouth County, Iowa, spending most of that time on a farm east of Le Mars. They were blessed with seven children.
Vernon was an active member of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Le Mars. He was also a member of the American Legion Wasmer Post 241 of Le Mars and the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3328 of Remsen, Iowa. He was also a longtime member of the Knights of Columbus Council 1466 of Le Mars. He enjoyed going to horse races and to cattle sales. His favorite activity was farming! Even in his later years, he was known to help and give advice to his sons.
Vernon was well known in the Le Mars area for his words of wisdom. There was no such word as "can't" in his vocabulary. He was also known to say, "Do you have rocks in your head!" Patience was not always Vernon's strong point.
