Verne Charles Madison, 88, died Wednesday, Oct. 31, 2012, in Fort Myers, Fla., after complications from heart surgery.
Services are pending.
Verne was born Dec. 22, 1923, in Connecticut and had a life full of love and happiness.
Verne was retired from Cal-Tex Citrus Juice Co., where his career took him from California to Houston and Columbia. He loved his toys! He was a twin engine instrument rated private pilot. For several years he and his wife Anne traveled the country by RV. The Lake of the Ozarks and Columbia were his homes before coming to Cape Coral, Fla. A boat was as important to him as his car, and he had several over the years. Most recently he traveled to the Bahamas twice on his boat with friends from Cape Coral Cruise Club.
Verne is survived by his children, George Madison and his wife Diana of Columbia, Chuck Madison, and Fran Rigell, both of Houston, Texas; grandchildren, Jamie Rigell and Debbie Ivey and her husband Rick; great-grandchildren, Blake Ivey, Kelley Ivey Sandlin and her husband Michael Sandlin; and soon-to-be-born great-great-grandson Nicholas James Sandlin. He is also survived by his wonderful friend, Rita Couch.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Anne Thomas Madison; mother, Greta Beaney of New York; father, Charles W.A. Madison of Los Angeles; and son-in-law James F. Rigell.
