A great man who was kind, funny, loved and will greatly be missed! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this sad day. Everytime I saw Virgil I called him my second daddy. I loved to hear the stories he would tell me about when he was in the service or when he and Winnie Lee owned the ice cream parlor. when he was awakened at night by the service men flirting with Ermal and my Mom *Carmel".
