Ken and family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your brother. Under all that tuff guy persona he was a good hearted guy. He had a super gift to be able to win hearts and friends . He believed in fairness for others and often took it as his responsibility.
We had a lot of laughs and fun fun times as a group of young people.
thanks for allowing me into your homes and hearts. I still treasure those memories.
take care and I love you . RIP Virgils.
to his wife: thank you for being free enough to love this man for who he was and accepting his faults and working on a meaningful relationship and being his friend. Bless you.
