Vernon as a family man
Do you think he was married? Had kids?
I can picture him as divorced, bitter about child support payments and hardly seeing his kids who don't want to see him. Probably very strict and harsh with them, the only real time he spent with them (when married) was to discipline them. Definitely never interested in what they had to say, calling any problems they had "trivial". Always believed the adult accusing them of doing wrong without question.
