Much of my youth and many of my fondest memories happened in the house. "Virg" and Paula were like parents to me. Virg always treated
me with respect and told me when I was out of bounds. Even when I, in reality all of us boys, didn't deserve it.
I somehow always had one of his tools...shovel or a screwdriver.......and he would ask me......I denied it, but the screwdriver is still in my toolbox.
We will all miss Virg. The Lord will watch over him now and he has no pain or sorrow.
I am a better person because of you. God bless you Virg and my Larue family.

Crossing the Bar

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;

For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar.
