Bye dear uncle Vic...my memories of you will be getting together at Gpa & Gma Virnigs for many occasions and the big card games, like Euchre, after our big meals. When we were to young to play we'd watch over shoulders and sometimes one of us shorties shout out cards in someones hand. Funny now think about but not so for poor person we were standing over. As we got older and learned how to play became avid learners of the game it was the best sitting across the table and maybe have you as a partner. You were a great sport for allowing us to learn this game. I think I'll miss your corny simple jokes. They were clean and easy to learn. Like...Shake, Spire went that way. But most of all I'll miss your great sense of humor and smile. You always made us kids feel special and included. Big hugs and Kisses to you. Say Hi to grandpa and grandma.
Love, your niece Annie
