From the Office of Sen. Jerry Moran-R-Kansas
“I’m saddened to hear of the passing of Kansan Verlin Pfannenstiel. Verlin was a graduate of Fort Hays State University and owned the Heartland Building Center in Hays, a beloved business that served the communities of Hays, Russell and Stockton for 60 years."
"Verlin was a man of faith and dedicated service, making significant contributions to his community. He organized the Annual City Wide Festival of Faith and, along with his wife, Elaine, was instrumental in the construction of the new Catholic Charities of Northern Kansas office in Hays which allowed the organization to expand and offer new services to the counties they serve."
"Verlin will be greatly missed, and my prayers are with Elaine, their children, Christi, Cindy, Russ and Ryan, and their grandchildren and great-grandchildren."
