1. I met Verne in his hometown while I work in Michigan. I covered the unveiling of a sign in his honor. The time I spent with Verne was very enjoyable. Verne was a naive midwestern boy who has gotten caught up the glitz of Hollywood. His parents are very down to earth and I'm sure Verne still is too. At least from my experience with him he's just like all of us...we all have issues at times. He is funny and very giving. But Hollywood can do strange things to an individual. Go Verne...I'm in your corner...keep fighting.

2. I love this midget. He shows everyone how just cause he is tiny does not mean that he is a dorke, helpless or Weird.
Verne is the man & overcomes obsticles we all take for granted. I wish I had Verne as my friend. If I did, I'd Start a Rock n Roll band. We would be bigger than Kid Rock & His Midget. We'd be up there with the Bob Seger & The Beatles.
Midgets Rule!!!! Wheel Of Fortune

3. you go verne. in todays time it is difficult to survive, as as ordinary person, but as a celebrety much more difficult. it takes alot to go through as a celebrity. once youre in the spot light everything is either seen or heard by the world. but in the other hand as part of becoming a"star" we should all know what to expect. but still it takes a lot out of anybody so i still say you go verne!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4. Verne, let me begin by saying, we're all human, and too many things in life can drive anyone crazy and at times, make us very depressed. I have gone thru depression for years with life in general and loss of employment a couple of times. I have a love for my family and I know they love for me, but even that isn't enough at times, however prayer has been a key factor in getting me through tough times, so I will pray for you too. I don't know you, but I do know my grandson and my family have enjoyed watching you in movies and shows... you have brought a smile to our faces, and we all know, laughter is great medicine for anyone. I wish you luck and success in the future and will pray for your improved physical state. I've had two of my adult children go thru alcohol and drug rehab. It was almost as painful to see them recover as it was to see them self-destruct. Whatever their pain was, they wouldn't say, but I know pain is pain and I would never wish that on anyone. I will pray and ask the Lord to keep you strong in mind and body, so you can continue with a positive career and life, so you in turn can continue to make us smile with laughter. God Bless!!
