Greenville Daily News, 13 Apr 2005

Roger VerHey, 58, proud owner of the Greenville Antique Center, passed away
suddenly on Sunday morning, April 10, 2005, at his home, after suffering a heart
attack.  The son of Raymond and Maryann Daniels VerHey, he was born Dec. 20,
1946, in Grand Rapids.

A graduate of Belding High School, Roger retired from AT&T/Lucent Technology
after 30 years of service.  On Sept. 24, 1984, in Henderson, Ky., he married

antique business.  In 1991 he opened the Greenville Antique Center in the former
Greenville Furniture Company building in downtown Greenville.  He spent seven
days a week at the store – enjoying every minute of it.

He is survived by his wife, Pat VerHey; their children, Rhonda and Jim
Heimbecker of Greenville, Denise and Capt. Dennis Shelden of Fort Bragg, N.C.,
