Vernon Bramble, a longtime doorman at 340 West 55th (The Sherwood), was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver last Friday night in Brooklyn. Police are looking for the driver of a black car that was traveling south on Flatbush Avenue.
Vernon had
worked at the Sherwood for 19 years and watched many of the young children who lived there grow to become adults. He had an infectious smile and was always willing to help. Jack H. remembers that during emergencies, Vernon would run up 11 flights of stairs to make sure the building elders were okay and he would check on all the apartments. He was, Jack says, "A trusted, stand up man I will never forget."
