Col. Virgil Herbert Wilson

Lt. Col. Virgil Herbert Wilson, 82, of Loveland, left this world to join his Lord and Savior Friday, August 31st, 2012. He was born October 5, 1929 in Belvidere, Illinois to Frank Burgess and Vanetta (Morgridge) Wilson. He proudly enlisted in the United States Army in 1949.
