Virgil and Pauline were our dearest friends when we lived in Venice, Fl. We worked together for AAL, when Virgil was President of the branch, I was his secretary. My husband and I traveled with them all over the mid-west and the east coast, always having so much fun. We played cards almost every week and enjoyed meals at one another's homes. Virgil will be sorely missed. We were so Blessed by their Friendship. My deepest Sympathy to all the family members.
