I met Virgil back in the late 90's when I was working for Delta Air Lines. I booked all of his reservations for many, many years. He and Salli are such wonderful people and I feel so blessed to have had such an amazing friend in my life. He always called me his "Angel" and now, he can be mine.

Dear family,
I had the privilege of getting to know Virgil during the Light Aircraft days (late Cleveland thru '79 Savannah). I fondly remember his 'crab sheet' for the last 'Trainer' buiit in Savannah. It was truly a testament to the people dedicated to the Light Aircraft Program. Be at peace and know he is already home in heaven.

I flew some great trips with Virgil when we worked together as pilots at Gulfstream. He was always a gentleman and was an excellent pilot. Fond memories of our time together and my best to his family and many other friends.

I have had the good fortune of knowing Virgil for better than 25 years. He was a true Aviator and always enjoyed a good adventure and a better story........and so, he is now off on a new adventure,and when we catch up to him, he will have a great story.
Virgil, you will be missed.

Virgil was a great friend and mentor. Some of my fondest memories will always be of our dinners together on those wonderful Monday nights at the Savannah Quarterback Club. Somehow Virgil beat me on just about every card! I will never forget when Coach Richt came down to talk with my Dad and we were all crying. Thanks Virgil for your friendship. I was honored and priveleged to have known this very special gentleman. God bless Virgil and his family.

Susan and I are so very sorry to learn of Virgil's passing. Virgil was a special friend who readily shared his knowledge with me when I first came to Gulfstream. He was a caring and giving person who will be missed by all who knew him. You have our deepest sympathies.

Saddened to learn of Virgil's passing. He was a fun guy to be around, always a joy to work with, easy laugh and great stories. The job got done, but just seemed less like work with Virgil involved. I'm richer to have had that opportunity, now poorer with his departure.

Virgil was my Gulfstream teacher fifteen years ago and continued to be so all of these years. He was also my mentor and my confidant. Most of all he was my friend. He will be missed. God rest his soul.

I have many fond memories of flying with Virgil on GIII's and GIV's after completion in Savannah. I enjoyed flying with Virgil and was always comfortable with him in the left seat. He was always the calm, cool, and collected pilot having everything under control. My thoughts go out to his family and friends. I'm sure that I'm only one of many at Gulfstream who feel this way.

Salli and Jennifer...I am so sorry! I miss you all so much! We had a lot of fun many years ago. Virgil was a wonderful and caring man and he will be sorely missed. I remember the day I met him back in 1971!! Mr. Personality! If you need me for anything at all, please call. I still live close and can be there in 5 minutes! My prayers and my heart go out to you and the family.....Love to all of you! Ellie
