I attended many of Virgil's classes, especially locals ones and was always impressed with his enthusiasm and devotion. A client of mine knew him as a piano teacher and had the same impression. Even at chapter meetings where he was not the presenter, he frequently was sought out by members after the meeting and he was always ready to share his insights. He will be missed.

He had given up tuning and auctioned off all of his tools a few years ago. He was mentally active up to the end and even came to meetings on occasion, when someone would bring him and his wheel chair. Virgil gave much time, effort, and devotion to PTG and did all he could to help bring up the standards of tuning and voicing. He will be missed here, but has rejoined many of his loved ones in the better place.
