I had the blessing of knowing Virgil over the last few months of his life. Through Agrace I visited him on a weekly basis. We spent time together playing blackjack which he liked very much. Although, he won most of the time :) and I enjoyed every single minute of our time playing. I will always remember his friendly character and his nice smile. It was a blessing having known Virgil. I will miss you my friend.
