A memorial service will be held at a later date in Twisp. Methow Valley News - Dec 14, 2007 Vernon (Vern) B. Heath, 80, a lifetime resident of Twisp, passed away Dec. 1, 2007, at the Odd Fellows Retirement Home in Walla Walla. Vern was born in Twisp Dec. 27, 1926, to Willis F. and Ella M. (Cumbo) Heath. He attended Twisp schools, followed by three years with the U.S. Army in Korea. He was a bachelor who spent his entire working career as a woodsman. During his younger years, he became an avid outdoorsman, learning to hunt, fish and trap with his father. As the years passed, he was always eager to pass that knowledge on to his brothers and sisters, of which there were nine. After his military time, Vern began his career contracting forest thinning, trail maintenance, etc., with the Forest Service, and also working as a logger with friends in that profession. He was a quiet man but had a sense of humor and enjoyed competing with himself to do better. He drove his Model A Ford to Alaska twice to work in the railroad in the summer and to trap in the winter. In the summer of 1974, a logging accident caused nearly complete paralysis of his legs. Not to be outdone, he had his vehicle fitted with hand controls, which would allow him to continue his mobility. He would find level areas in various drainages in the Twisp River Valley and walk a mile a day on his walker. Each fall he would drive to his house in Yuma, Ariz., and do the same on the desert during his winters there. Friends and family were very important to Vern, and he visited with them often. His 16 nieces and nephews became "his kids" and they had many enjoyable times. He is survived by his sisters, Roberta (Mike) Larson of Chelan, Alta (LaVern) Conner of Quincy and Doris Schaadt of San Jose, Calif.; brothers Doug (Sharon) Heath of Nampa, Idaho; Rodney Heath of Cashmere, Lyle (Jack) and Mary Heath of Methow and Carl (Di Ann) Heath of East Wenatchee. He was preceded in death by his parents and his brothers Howard and Gail Heath. A memorial service will be held in Twisp at a date to be announced.
