After a 4 1/2 year battle with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma this valiant man, Vernon T., “V.T.” Huey, passed on to his creator.
He was born in Waco, Texas during a record breaking heat wave and retained a love for TX and OK. Grew up in Oklahoma City and attended Eugene Field, Taft and Classen, graduating in 1954. Attended OU and UCO.
V.T. worked in the family sewing machine business and then as a trim carpenter. He loved to fish and was an avid golfer. Amazingly he had 13 holes-in-one. He lived on the golf course the last seventeen years, had his own golf cart, riding lawn mower and pick-up truck – utopia!
He is survived by his loving wife Elaine of 36 years; 2 daughters, Kathryn McGill of OKC and Karen Thompson of California; 4 grandchildren, Connor, Patrick, Trent and Kaylie. He is also survived by Elaine’s children, Pam Mansour, Paul Miller and Dr. Suzanne Miller and their spouses and children as well as his brother Bobby Huey and his wife Lou and extended family.
He is predeceased by his parents Vernon and Roberta Huey and younger brother Eddie Huey.
He was a good man, hard-working, very responsible and caring. When he saw a need he filled it, always willing to help.
Private services are planned. Arrangements are under the direction of Smith-Gallo Funeral Home, Guthrie.
Memorial donations in his name would be welcome at Salvation Army.
