Sorry for your loss, I used to work for Virgil back in the early 80's. He was a good man to work for. He always knew how to make a buck. I learned a lot from Virgil and his business knowledge. Please accept my condolences.

JR (sorry can't get the Virgil part down) we have many fond memories of your Dad. From the very first "dicey" meeting to him opening his home to us in Rocky Point. Virgil and you have always been a part of our extended family. I know your Dad was always tough on you but also VERY proud of you, we will miss him. You and your entire family are in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Becky, Andy and Richard
