Virgil Tipton Watkins

Hey cousin, Thirteen years since you passed from this life to the one in Heaven that you deserve, and you're still thought of daily as if you never left. I'm sure you're being rewarded for your inspiration of kindness and good deeds to others in your Earth life.
Missing you. Love always.

Sincerest condolences from Virgil's cousins in the Watkins Family History Society. He sounds like someone we can all be proud of.

Dear Audrey, Paula, Brian and family...
It's difficult to put on paper the impact that Virgil had on so many lives. Somehow I'm confident you already know. I found myself always looking forward to checking my home email. I was on his 'mailing list' and almost daily received forwarded jokes that made me smile. I learned quickly not to ever open them at work, although some were very touching. I've been missing those emails. It's hard to imagine life without a Virgil. As one of the...

Virgil Watkins Family,
Our hearts go out to you in sincerest sympathy. We will sorely miss Virgils happy face and joking manner. May God help you through this time in your lives.

During Virgil's last few years at Griffith, I was involved with the PTO. I admired the way he expressed his care, concern and hope for his students.

To his friends, family and former students, I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Audrey and Family: Virgil surely was one of a kind. How could you not help but smile when you saw him. To have touched so many hearts while on this earth is an outstanding example of how one person can make so much difference.
Wish I could have been at the services. I understand it was a wonderful honoring of his life.

Audrey, I am sorry to learn of your loss. I know you and your family will miss Virgil terribly. In reading his tributes, there is a fine man and friend in Heaven.
I will want to aspire to be as great an educator, too. It was always a pleasure working with you in schools at Creighton District. Just wanted to extend my sadness for your loss, and will remember to pray for comfort in the days ahead.

Virgil's journey on this earth has ended but the end of this journey took him to a land of peace and where there is no pain.

I had the pleasure of being Virgil's classmate at both Balsz and Phoenix Union. Though we only saw each other at school reunions, Virgil was a person you could never forget. Not only will he live on in the hearts and memories of his loved ones but in the hearts and memories of those who were privileged to know him and call him a friend.
