Sad, sad news - Vernon has gone to the great Pie shop in the sky!

[StuAff]

And brought, appropriately enough, a large pie.

And most excellent it was.

Really sad to hear this, taken way too soon.

RIP Vernon.

RIP Vernon, you will be greatly missed especially for your tales which made me laugh so much... I wish I'd had the opportunity to have met you!

 

[Tin Pot]

What? Condolences to his friend and family.

Sad news - I too enjoyed his posts but hadn't had the chance to meet the man.

 

[Glow worm]

Lost for words. What a dreadful loss. So sad. RIP the great Leeds Pie man.

RIP Vernon.
I enjoyed his posts he had me in stitches or more than one occasion. His interests in fireworks, science and pies will be missed by all.

I am gobsmacked and so very sad. @Rockymountain,@hopless500 ,@User and i were due to meet up with Vernon in May.

I feel very proud to have met such a lovely and funny man who was full of knowledge and interesting facts and of course maker of spectacular pies. He will by now be riding the skies on his favourite Woodrup .

Ride amongst the stars lovely man, the pleasure was all ours x

Blimey. I only knew the persona on here, but that has shocked me. What sad news.

The next world is certainly going to be more interesting with Vernon getting it in shape for us.

RIP.

Very sad news, I always enjoyed reading his witty remarks and unequaled expertise regarding pies.

RIP Vernon and condolences too your family.

 

[Profpointy]

very much saddened to hear the news. Although we'd never met, felt I knew him and seemed a kindred spirit, and enjoyed his knowledgable and witty posts. One day I'll make that pulse jet in his honour.

Oh wow, such a shame.

RIP Vernon and sincere condolence to your family, friends & erstwhile colleagues.

@mjray nice idea. It shall be done.

 

[cosmicbike]

Never met the man, but enjoyed his posts and pie ideals. RIP Vernon.

Cr*p, cr*p and double cr*p! Far too young. Condolences to his family. (Rode York to Hull alongside him in 2012. Lovely man.)
