As a father, Virgil was a great provider. He enjoyed spending quality time with his grandchildren. Although he may not have been related, he was often referred to as “Uncle Virgil” or “Pops”.  Virgil’s legacy will remain in the hearts of many and will be missed by all. He loved hats and you would rarely see him without one, Praise God that he had traded in his hat for a crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous judge, has bestowed upon him.   Thanks, Pops!!
