July 13, 1943 – May 15, 2025

It is with extreme sadness that we announce the passing of Laverne Gaddye in his 82 year. He was the beloved husband of Lorraine for 20 years. Predeceased by his first wife, Betty. Loving father of Christin, Doug (Steph), and loved stepfather to Wendy Clark (David Coulter). Much loved grandfather of Tyler Gaddye. Loved brother of Gwenn (Doug) Broomfield and Frances (Alex) Stankiewicz. Brother-in-law to John (Arlene) Drysdale, Karen Clark, Margaret Drysdale, Roy (Belinda) Drysdale, and Lynda Norris. The best uncle to many nieces and nephews.
Vern wore many hats in his life and was loved by all who had the good fortune to know him. He was involved with Blackheath Binbrook Lions Club, Glanbrook Community Services, Glanbrook Rangers Jr C Hockey Club, the Committee of Adjustment for the City of Hamilton, and Challenger Baseball (Santa).
He had a love for fishing, hunting and anything outdoors.
Life will not be the same without him.
Thanks to Bob Kemp Hospice, where he was kept comfortable for his final days.
