We are so sorry that we didn't have more time to get to know Virgil. We could see that he was still looking for his "next adventure", as he walked about the property of his new-found dwelling, here at the Exeter Apartments, in Colorado Springs. For a certainty, Virgil was a man who never gave up hope for his dreams yet to be fulfilled. We all could learn from his zeal for life. Our heartfelt sympathy rests with his beloved Family.
