Clark County District Court Judge Vernon L. Schreiber, who served about 30 years on the bench, died Tuesday. He was 74 years old.

Schreiber had been on medical leave from the court since Feb. 13, Presiding District Court Judge Kelli E. Osler said Wednesday morning.

She said that Schreiber will be remembered among his peers as friendly and helpful. He was always willing to fill in for anyone when needed.

“He’s been a mainstay. … I really can’t think of a better word,” Osler said. “He’s really going to be missed around here. He was a valuable part of our family.”

While on the bench, Schreiber developed the Driver’s License Restoration Program. He was involved in the Neighborhood Outreach and Judges in the Classroom programs, as well as various other community groups, which included sitting on the board for the Clark County Volunteer Lawyers Program.
