My family has known Virgil and Doris for years.  He lived right around the corner from us, and he was the last one to roof my parents house.  I used to see Virgil virtually every day when he drove by on his way to and from somewhere.  He was always ready to stop and chat for a while and tease you about something! The neighborhood just won't be the same with him gone. 

Grandpa Virgil which was my great-grandfather was a amazing and excellent man. 
To me grow me growing up his funny sense of humor, and love to us kids. Grandma and Grandpa came to visit us on Sundays. 
We’d go to visit him in Lincoln on occasions and go to see him at the old country buffet. I loved going to see him and spend as much time with him. He boosted my spirits growing up. Those family moments are precious to my heart.   I’ve been reminiscing the memory of him just like I was nine.

Virgil was my favorite Uncle, and I always looked forward to spending time with him throughout the years. I have fond memories of traveling to Lincoln as a child and spending weeks with Virgil and Doris. I always made it a point to visit him and Aunt Doris when they were visiting Aunt Opal in Reno.  Even if it was a simple phone call to catch-up, he was always glad you called.    

Virgil always found time to help those who needed help and never asked for anything in return. He loved the entire family and was always there to lend that helping hand.  

I will never forget the look on his face when I flew him out for my Mother's (Virgil's Sister Phyllis) 90th Birthday celebration. They had not seen each other in 10 plus years. Watching my Mother shedding tears of joy, when she saw her brother Virgil sitting at the table made it a perfect day.  

I am glad that I took time to recently visit Virgil prior to his passing. Virgil will be missed by friends and family, but we all know that he is now with Doris, the love of his life. 
Rest in peace, Uncle Virgil. 


I would always see Virgil at McDonalds when I had my grandchildren.   He enjoyed watching them & always was so friendly. He will be missed.
