On behalf of my parents, Walter and Doris Carpenter, and all our family, I want to express our sadness at Doc’s passing and send our heartfelt sympathy to his family. My Dad, Walt, and Doc go back a long way in their tv repair careers, and I have many memories of Vernon (“Doc”) from my childhood. Mom and Dad have both had health issues recently which prevent them from contactng you personally, but you are in their thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry for the loss of Vern. I got to know him through duck pin bowling which was great fun. He was a darn good bowler and a lot of fun. I will miss him and remember him often.
