In honor and memory of a very wonderful, kind gentleman who always greeted you with a smile and handshake. His was the genuine handshake full of meaning and honesty. Even though he always told you he could not see, he smiled and you knew he could see and feel many things in a different way if not by his eyes. God bless Virgil...

Virgil was my boss at A-1 Manufacturing back in the 70's. I have never respected any one more than I did Virgil. He had such family values and work ethic that I always listened and looked up to him. I am so sorry for your loss. Virgil was a man who will leave a legacy in his loving family. Sincerely.

To my family............Today as I was making a treat for my family (pan fried chicken!) I thought about all those wonderful times we had at the park in Laurel. We all had a great deal of fun,(and pan fried chicken!) It is a by-gone era, but those are memories we will have forever! You are always in my heart. Blessings to you. Lean on each other in your need, but lean on the Lord always. Love you all forever. Loren, Deb,Chris, Laura, Andrea, Tanner and April Trube
