I was in my teens when I first met Verlane in Minot, North Dakota (on his relation's farm). I had the privilege of seeing him again a few times in the past 15 years... he never changed. Always a friend and he remembered those special moments that made me laugh, as if it was yesterday. Our condolences to his family. He was a great man.
