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

Really sad news.
RIP Vernon.

That is sad.
I have found this to be such a good forum and (generally) people are eager to help/advise others.
You feel as though you get to know people e.g. Vernon 2pies.
I think heaven needs to open a pie shop quickly

My condolences to your family and friends

So sad to lose a valued member of our community.

While I didn't always agree with Vernon he made a lot of great posts & offered up some true pearls of wisdom.

Vernon also made me belly laugh out loud on numerous occasions with his dry wit & will be sadly missed.

*apologies also for my earlier post* which appears to (thankfully) have been removed.
I hadn't seen the news & on opening the page on my mobile I believed there to be a tech glitch in my phone or on the site.
I genuinely was being light hearted in my thoughts & post & intended no harm.

RIP Big Man.

May you & your Woodrup tour the heavens in peace.

Seeing the avatars made me cry and laugh at the same time. Vernon would have thought this was brilliant.

Shame, he had been counting down to his retirement and never got chance to enjoy it

I hadn't seen this when I made my post in Mundane News.

Nothing to add that 19 pages of messages will not have already said. Lovely larger than life bloke. Swapped pies and absinthe with him on the York to Hull Fnrttc. Shocked. RIP Vernon.

RIP Vernon,

An honest man here lies at rest,
The friend of man, the friend of truth,
The friend of age, and guide of youth:
Few hearts like his, with virtue warm'd,
Few heads with knowledge so inform'd;
If there's another world, he lives in bliss;
If there is none, he made the best of this.

Very sad news, sorry to hear it.
His original plan for a ride across the States brought him near my house, I was hoping to meet him.
Pie will never be the same again. RIP Vernon.

I just saw this and thought of Vernon...

 

[dan_bo]

I honestly thought this was a gag and skipped past it.

Bloody hell.

RIP Vern.
