I have so many fond memories of Uncle Virgil growing up as a child. His infectious smile and humor was enough for any kid(or adult) to love. I will miss you Uncle Virgil, but I know I know my Grandma (Dot) is so happy to have you with her. All my love to you and Aunt Carm.

Virgil was our land lord when we lived at 2809 S Normal, and we will never forget all the kindness he and Carm bestowed upon us, they were wonderful.
