Virgil was such a giving sweet man. He helped me with the Christmas Meal Program for several years and my volunteers enjoyed working with him. I am sorry for your families loss of a wonderful kind man.

We called our friend a "reniassance" man. Virgil was an artist, a poet and an historian but he was interested in soooo many things!
We knew him for over 10 years, had met Scott and one or two other faamily members and came to know how much his family meant to him.
We chanced to meet a fellow traveler in Ireland who knew and respected Virgil Paulding of Ballwin, Mo!
Virgil will be missed at the center, by friends and family and especially by us. We loved him. Chuck and Pat Brawner,...

The words that describe Virgil (as if any would ever fully suffice) are gentleness, caring and curiosity. Uncle Virgil was an observer and a story-teller. He had a love of art and intellect. Above all he was kind. Sometimes kindness and reserved nature are overlooked, but they are sorely missed when they are absent. Thank you Virgil. To my cousins, my sympathies are with you. I know you are all aware how all of us were enriched by your father.
