So many called him “Uncle Vern”.  Many more called him “Friend”.

Born in Verden, Germany on New Year’s Day 1949 to German parents the late Hans & Lottchen Meyer.  Werner Meyer arrived with his mother and older brothers to Pickering Beach where his father refurbished a cottage into a cozy home.  He grew up admiring his older brothers and their cars.  Eventually in his teens he became a “motorcycle enthusiast.”  Since marrying Marie, he also started to collect classic cars.  He was a machinery mover/trucker.  He loved his job and for a time became a successful independent broker.  He had an incredible sense of humour and was   quite charming.  He mentored many. He would converse with “paupers” or “kings” treating both equally.

A Celebration of Vern’s life will be held at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 402, 9 King Street East, Millbrook on Saturday October 10, 2026 from 5:00 – 10:00 PM.  Please dress casually and bring your classic car or motorcycle.
