It is always sad to loose a family member, but with him being the family historian makes it even harder.
You will always be remembered dear cousin Virgil.

I am sorry for your loss. It is always hard to lose a loved one in death. Our heavenly Father is very aware and understands the pain you feel. He will give you comfort. (Psalms 86:6,7) Your family has my deepest sympathy.
