I met Virgil when I began employment for Arthur M. Reynolds, a prominent DC lawyer. He served as a consultant at Mayfair Mansions, Lincoln-Westmoreland Apartments, located in DC; and Baber Village in Seat Pleasant, MD. He was a friend and will be missed.

My condolences to the Hood family and friends. It was my pleasure to work for Virgil Hood on 4th & H. Street, NE Washington, DC at Associated Construction Corp as an Architect and Engineering apprentice for 2 years. Virgil Hood and Dexter Ferguson entrusted me with many Construction projects that to this day still stand in Washington, DC. Whenever I visit those sites I will forever be reminded of Virgil Hood and his friendship. You will be truly missed. - Thaddeus T. Hancock
