Lavern was a member of Teamsters 414 in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He was known for his love of the outdoors. Always an avid hunter, fisherman with a green thumb, and a garden overflowing with tomatoes and zucchinis. Usually, so many vegetables he and his wife, Alice, would share with neighbors and family. When he wasn’t outdoors, he could be found enjoying a western or two. He would often say, “If it’s not John Wayne or Clint Eastwood, it’s not a good movie.”
