<div>Karen, Thank you so much for sharing some of the significant parts of the life of Verdell. Thank you and others for representing many of us who could not be there. Those of us who knew him on the Westside can attest to his affectionate title of Mayor
of the Westside. His southern upbringing was very apparent in his gentle way of working with people and helping them see the necessity of working together to make things happen. We recall the pride and hope that he saw for Fifth City with the Car Wash and
Auto Shop. Plus having Mayor Harold Washington there to help inaugurate the opening of that new construction! </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It was great to see him and several other Fifth Citizens at the JWM Legacy event in WDC several years ago, still telling the story of Fifth City. From the obituary, it looks as if he carried that RS-I wisdom about no-retirement to heart with all his work
continued through the community. We celebrate a life shared with so many of us and with local people around the world through his demonstration of care for building the future. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>With gratitude for his life of service, Lynda and John </div>
