Unfortunately I never met Virgil, but I know his son which speaks volumes to how great Virgil was. A true patriarch.
I remember fondly, Sunday's after church, a cup of coffee, and good stories from Virgil -- whether it was a recent book, or a memorable movie -- it was always fun and interesting. You are in my thoughts and prayers as you rest, dear Virgil, in God's everlasting arms. Blessed be, Dee Tustison
Oma,
I was so sorry to learn of Virgil's passing. I have fond memories of his smile at church on Sundays. I will be praying for you and for your family.

Virgil was one of a kind. He always had a smile and made every person feel comfortable when he was around. He was quite intelligent and we loved to hear his stories and share his knowledge of people and events. I enjoyed being with him and Oma always,
especially at Book Club. His memory will carry on with his friends and family and through Good Shepherd Lutheran Church! Fly high, Virgil Your time on earth has earned you a marvelous eternity with our Lord! Mildred Meyer
Oma- I just want you and your family are in my prayers - over sixty years of marriage is such a blessing and something to be admired- love to you during this time of sadness- Cathy Deweese
Still have very good memories of spending the weekend at your home and Mr. Blackwell taking us to dinner! Thinking of you and your family and praying for God’s comfort in the days ahead. Cindy Burnett Beckman
