Your father was a great man. He delivered my fuel oil for years. I always enjoyed talking to him. He was a very nice sweet kind man. May he catch the big fish in the sky. I haven't seen him in years, but I thought about him often. You can be very proud to have had him for a dad.

Virgil will be missed. He was great company, fun to be around, and loved coming to the kids sporting events. With our own parents passed, it was nice for the kids to have an "honorary grandfather".
