"I worked with Verlin the entire time he was at Wayne Township. He always had a smile for you and never seemed to get upset. I always enjoyed talking to him even though sometimes he really confused with with his computer geek language!! LOL When I heard he had passed all I could do was cry, not only because it was so sudden, but because I will miss calling him and asking him to help me with my computer, seeing his smile, having him always ask how I was doing. He was such a sweet and gentle man that will be missed by anyone who knew him. Heidi Hannie"
