For anyone who has a copy of this mug, or ever had the pleasure to meet Verne Langdon.

The man (my friend) who gave me my childhood dreams has passed away.

He was a lover of Tiki, a monster maker, a musician, a magician, a circus clown, and a wrestler. He was also a dreamer who made his dreams reality, a reality that we all loved to share.

He went the way we all hope to go someday. Peacefully, and in his sleep.

Now, he is among his friends of whom he spoke so fondly, and missed terribly. Vic, Mae, Boris, Bela, Tor, Don Post, his uncle Red, and his father and mother.

So long, Verne. Until we meet again, thanks for the masks, the "Perfect Navy Grogs", the music, and the memories.

You will always be my hero, and I will miss you.
