Virgil Westdale

The world needs more people like Virgil. RIP my friend. Drew K.

Awww, thank you, Patriot. One of my favorite pictures is of my dad with your mom and you.

Virgil was the best grandpa i could have

My condolences to your family. I miss dancing with Virgil. We were a great team.

I wish I had known you in life. What an amazing person you were. I suspect it's against your nature, but Rest In Peace, dear Mr. Westdale.

Thank you for your service, sir.

In April 2015, I had the privilege of meeting Mr. Virgil Westdale. One of the ladies from our book club picked him up. He was delighted to be a guest at our intimate book club. There are not words to describe what a pleasure and honor it was to hear his stories. I could have listed to him for hours and hours. I think of him often. The signed copy of his book is a treasure in my house. He is a true American hero. Condolences to all the family. A beautiful light in this world is gone but...

Virgil & I worked together for the TSA in Grand Rapids from 2002 until he retired. I loved sharing my breaks with him and being able to learn about his amazing life. Virgil was a hard worker and one to always have a smile on his face and never a pessimistic outlook on life. I watched him as he walked the full distance in the Memorial Day Parade in Lowell years ago and was so honored for him. Then in 2011 he was the Grand Marshal for the Ada Fourth of July parade, which was so awesome...

Getting to know Virgil and the rest of his family has been a huge blessing in my life! I am truly grateful. With you all, I rejoice that he had such a good, long life and find peace in knowing that he trusted in the Lord.
