MANN, HUGH VERNON
1922 - 2015
With heavy hearts, the family of Vernon Mann announce his passing on March 11, 2015 at his Residence.
Vernon is survived by his wife Phyllis (Caldwell), daughters Mary and Alix, son Stephen, daughter-in-law Bonnie (MacCharles), granddaughter Stephanie, grandson Jody and special niece Jeanie (Magee) Kingston. He is also survived by his brother-in-law Bill and sister-in-law Edna, along with several nieces, nephews, grand-niece and grand-nephews.
He was predeceased by his parents and beloved sister Jean.
Vernon was born and raised in Campbellton, New Brunswick near his beloved Restigouche River. He joined the RCAF during World War II serving as a Flight Lieutenant on Lancasters – igniting a life long interest in planes. He stayed overseas after the war to aid in the return of POW’s to England from Europe.
On his return to Canada, he enrolled in University then started a 45 year career with CN Rail, working in Campbellton, Montreal and Moncton. This ignited another lifelong interest – trains.
In 2007, Vernon received his 50 year membership pin in the Masons, and was a member of the Scottish Rite.
As brilliant a man as Vernon was, his passions in life were for the simplest of things, family, cooking meals for family and friends – his meals were legendary – and waiting to return for good near his Restigouche River.
Fergusons Funeral Home, 1657 Mountain Road, Moncton (858-1995) in care of arrangements. In keeping with Vernon’s wishes, a private family service will take place at St George’s Church Chapel with interment in Campbellton later in the spring.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to CNIB or NB Heart and Stroke Foundation.
