Sorry to hear about Scoochy. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. He was a good friend of Rollies in school, Very nice friend.

My sympathies & thoughts to all of Virgil’s family. Many great memories of Virgil. He was a very generous, caring, principled man. Our relationship was one in which I represented a major healthcare provider, he a major insurer. Often this could be adversarial but not with Virgil. Our interests were always those of the patient and the insured. In my opinion, Virgil was responsible for much of his employers success in the rough and tumble 80’s and 90’s. VIrgil, you will be missed. Maybe you can help the Big Guy above develop an AMO—Angel Maintenance Organization!
