Verne Langdon was a multi talented man. He was a master in cinema makeup, a published author, and a very talented musician. He was a contributer to Find A Death, writing the bio on Schlitze. Had it not been for his moving story on Schlitze, we would not have had such an outpouring of contributions to get his grave marked.
Verne was found dead on New Year's day, 01/01/2011. At this time, it looks like he died peacefully in his sleep.
I was blessed to have met this man and to call him my friend. He was warm, generous, and kind. Talking to him was like talking to a walking encyclopedia of old school Hollywood. You could not mention a place or an event without Verne giving you the history behind it or sharing some charming anecdote.
I placed this in this section as Verne was known for his many talents, but spent the last few years of his career working on his music. He wrote and arranged the music for the 2010 Grammy nominated album "Jonathon Winters - A Very Special Time".
We have lost a talented man. RIP Verne.
