I've known Virgil since I was 11. He was one of my best friends growing up. I am broken hearted of a life gone way to soon. We didn't talk much as we grew into adults, but he was always my friend. I will never forget that smile and his sense of humor, always making people laugh. His wife, son and family will always be in my prayers. Fly high verge. You will be greatly missed.
