Vernon Hendrix, Ph.D., died a peaceful death in his home in the mountains of western North Carolina on February 5, 2020, after a long illness. Vernon is survived by his wife of 44 years, Jeanne Dorle, his daughter Abbie Martin, his son Volney Hendrix, and two grandchildren. Before his retirement, Vernon was a scholar, educator, and consultant with a focus on statistics and sampling design. He retired from the University of Minnesota after more than 30 years on the faculty. He was a skilled pilot, loved flying, and enjoyed living in Manhattan and North Carolina.
