Virgil Grotfeldt

Went to EIU with Bill. Shared a few beers. Did a Google of old friends and just found our. Condolences to his children and Debbie.

I will always remember Virgil as one of my best friends and the best man at my wedding. Bernie will always treasure the art he gave her in exchange for Debs parents anniversary cake. I will always have great memories of his art and friendship. He truly will be missed.

I have very fond memories of Virgil, Debbie, Jessica, and William from Heights Christian Church in Houston. He at one time had a studio in part of the church and I taught his daughter in 3rd grade Sunday School. He was a very nice man and always had a kind word for everyone. He will definitely be missed but this world is a much better place because of Virgil. My prayers go out to Debbie, Jessica, and William but I know that heaven must have needed another artist and they got a another great one.

What a man Bill was!

My deepest sympathy to Jessie and Andy.

I worked with Virgil at HBU. He was a true inspiration to all that knew him. He is greatly missed.

We met Virgil a little over a year and a half ago when he extended his heart to adopt 2 wonderful dogs from our rescue. His love for Mick & Bianca was evident by the loyalty they gave back. Bless you Virgil for giving them the life and love they so deserved.
Everyone at Lone Star Boxer Rescue extend our prayers and sympathies to his entire family,friends & students.

He was more than a professor. Virgil Grotfeldt told me to paint my version of life, to never stop trying, never stop learning and that my opinion is the only one that counts. I am a better person (and artist) today because he was a great example, teacher, and mentor.
Thank you Virgil!

I was so sad top hear of Virgil's death. It has been long years since I have seen him and Debbie, but we were all memebers of Heights Christian Church together. What a really great guy that I know will be missed so. I send my prayers to you all.
