We are deeply sorry for your loss.
Verlyn was so kind and warm-hearted. I (Katie) remember he would come up to me during the benediction at The Crossing to do a handshake that involved multiple steps he’d made up - I think we repeated this almost every week -and always included his contagious smile.
Praying you feel God comforting you.
hugs from Texas,
Andy and Katie VanZanten

I worked with Verlyn at Vermeer. When I started working with him, he was welcoming to me. Little did I know that it wasn't just something he did for new coworkers, he treated everyone that way. He was a wealth of knowledge that helped me learn more about the history in our products. I still use that knowledge to this day. He will be missed by many people.
