Vernon Storms passed away at the age of 95 in Rhinebeck, NY, on Saturday December 7, 2024. Vernon was born on November 23, 1929 in Greenport, NY to parents John and Bertha Storms. He grew up on a farm and would continue that passion and profession into his adult life. Vernon attended Catskill College majoring in agricultural sciences before enlisting into the US Army, deploying to Korea just shy of graduating. In Korea he was proudly serving as an engineer, helping to build roads and airstrips. Once home, he met the love of his life, Barbara Place, and were married in the spring of 1955. They spent nearly 69 years of marriage together, creating a beautiful life for their family of 5. Vernon was predeceased by Barbara 9 months before his own passing, and he expressed every day how much he wanted to be with her again. Vernon is also predeceased by his parents John and Bertha Storms, his brothers Claude and Lloyd Storms, his sister Bertha Storms.
