October 31, 2023 at 10:51 pmVirgil was a great conversationalist – always having a quick story, or a bit of wisdom to empart every time we spoke. We always saw him, at the entrance to Encounter Church, greeting each person with a handshake and a smile as they came in the door. There was just something about his demeanor that made everyone feel welcome from the start.
We are very blessed to have been able to get to know him.
He will truly be missed.
