We met Virgil many years ago at Clark College during an Adult Fitness & Volleyball class. Virgil became an excellent Volleyball player and we formed a CO-Ed Volleyball team to compete in the City of Vancouver. To our surprise and excellent play we received the 1st place trophy in 1979.
Virgil continued to play Volleyball most of his life playing later at the Marshall community center. Virgil was not only a life-long athlete but also a great person to know. Our prayers go to his family.
