Verlyn enjoyed riding his motorcycle and was very interested in cars and pickups, knowing the make and year of every model. He liked "checking them out" in area car lots.

He was a caregiver to his mother, and they traveled together frequently.

Survivors include a brother and his wife, William and Lorraine Groeneweg, of Orange City; two sisters-in-law, Carol Groeneweg and Joyce Groeneweg, both of Sioux Center; and many nephews and nieces.
