  Verbeten, Gerald F. "Jeff" Jeff Verbeten, Kaukauna, died on Sunday, March 30, 2008, at the Appleton Medical Center. He was 86. Jeff was born in Kimberly on June 3, 1921, son of the late Martin and Nellie (Coenen) Verbeten. He graduated from the Kaukauna High School and from 1942 until 1945 was a member of the United States Army. His service to his country took him to Russia, Iraq, Germany, Egypt, and finally to England where he met and married Dorothy Simm on September 17, 1945. Upon his return to Kaukauna, he took over his father's business, Verbeten's Bar. In 1947, he built and added the bowling lanes. The business still operates today, under the supervision of their son, Jim. When Jim took over in 1976, Jeff "retired" and went to work on the Kaukauna Locks for the United States Army Corps of Engineers. Jeff enjoyed gardening, playing cards and politics. Survivors include his wife: Dorothy Verbeten of Kaukauna; five children: Steve Verbeten of Appleton; Tom Verbeten of Kaukauna; Mary Kay (Leo Aerts) Verbeten of Kaukauna; Jim (Beth) Verbeten of Kaukauna and their daughters Caroline and Catherine; and Mike (Katie) Verbeten of Kaukauna and their sons Shawn and Kevin; two sisters: Sr. Catherine Verbeten of Racine and Grace Kugler of Appleton; a brother-in-law: Wilf Simm of England. Jeff was preceded in death by his parents, a very special granddaughter Nikki in 1993, a brother Bob Verbeten; sisters Dorothy Marolf and Mary (Ed) Vanevenhoven; a brother-in-law Joe Kugler, and a sister-in-law Beryl Simm. A memorial service for Jeff will be held at 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, April 2, 2008, at the funeral home chapel with Rev. Tim Albrecht officiating. Friends may call at the funeral home on Wednesday morning from 9:30 a.m. until the hour of the memorial service.
