Virgil was definitely one of the "Good Guys". He had a great sense of humor and was fun to be around. He was a good picker and patient with us beginning steel players. We will miss him terribly. Prayers for his family. Rest In Peace my friend.

As Larry stated Virgil was truly "one of the good Guy's."
I will definitely miss seeing, and visiting with Virgil. He was a real asset to the Steel Guitar world. Rest in peace my friend.

My favorite song that he played was Amazing Grace. I loved hearing Virgil play, and he was so good about sharing his steel guitar knowledge. Great guy.
