In Memoriam -- VERNON E. MAST
With great sadness, the Pennsylvania
Palomino Exhibitors Association wishes to let the palomino community
know that we recently learned of the passing of our Past President,
Vernon E. Mast. The following is adapted from his obituary on
lancasteronline.com
Vernon E. Mast, 82, of 1060 Hemlock
Circle, Manheim, formerly of Orchard Road, Lititz, went home
to be with his Lord on Wednesday, July 16, 2008 at the Good Samaritan
Hospital, Lebanon. Born in Lancaster, he was the son of the late
J. Ernest and Sarah Winey Mast. Vernon was the husband of Pauline
Gingrich Mast, and they celebrated their 59th wedding anniversary
in June of 2008. He retired as a self-employed building contractor
in the Lancaster area. Vernon attended Lake View Bible Church
of Manheim and was a former member of the Grace Church of Lititz
where he was active with Boys Brigade, as a Sunday school teacher
and was on the Board of Trustees. He was a National Director
of the Palomino Horse Breeders of America, and a Past President
of both the Pennsylvania Palomino Exhibitors Association (PPEA)
and the Keystone Palomino Exhibitors Association (KPEA.) His
interests included hunting, fishing and listening to gospel music.
Vernon loved to raise and show his animals in various farm shows,
and as a youth won a State Grand Championship at the prestigious
Pennsylvania Farm Show in Harrisburg.
A funeral service to celebrate
Vernon's Life was held on Monday, July 21, 2008 at Lake View
Bible Church, 383 Lake View Drive, Manheim, PA with Pastor John
Collins officiating. Interment was in East Petersburg Mennonite
Cemetery.
