Cyril H. Verheyen "Bear" March 21, 1943-January 30, 2014. Son of the late John and Caroline (Kerkhoff) Verheyen died at home surrounded by family after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. Cyril graduated from Preble High School in 1961 then proudly served in the U.S. Navy. Cyril also served as an auxiliary Deputy for the Brown County Civil Defense Department. On Aug 6, 1966, Cyril married his true love Mary C. Vanden Langenberg and had two children; Mark A. and Valerie J. Verheyen.
