Four days after retiring from the Air Force, Vern started his next career working for Hiddleston Drilling in Mountain Home as a pump tech and then pump manager, before retiring in 2011 after 28 years. 

Vern loved spending time outdoors fishing, hunting, and going on family camping trips to Anderson Ranch Dam. When Vern was not enjoying the outdoors, you could always find him in the garage working on the next project that involved building something from wood. Vern’s ultimate joy was watching his grandkids compete in their various sports through the years.

Vern is survived by his wife Peggy Oyler of 56 years, his sons Gary (Lorelei) and Joey (Terri), grand-children Victoria (Tracy), Tyler, Cheyenne, Natalie, and great grandchild Nick.
