Paid for by the Elko County Republican Party
With great regret, we report the passing of one of our Central Committee members, Vern Shipton.
Vern was an active and supportive member and a true patriotic American. He stepped up several years ago to fill the void left by the death of his wife Mary Lou, and stayed with us through all these troubled times. He even served on our Executive Committee for a few years.
Vern was one of a kind, always funny and upbeat but also serious about important matters.
Rest in Peace, Vern. We will miss you, your wisdom and your neon presence.
Vern's life will be celebrated sometime next Spring.
