Dear Terry and Dianna; You may not recall your neighbors up on the hill at Jan Lynn Drive many years ago but you did play with Marty and Vicky Pulliam and we enjoyed talking with your mother and Dad. Virgil and I spent a lot of time solving the worlds problems. Virgil was quite well informed and a swell guy to go with it.Your double loss in such a short time is very difficult but you shall endure memories of a lasting nature for ever. My condolences to you and your family. Skip and Kristen

Virgil and I were friends for 70 years. We met when we were both ushers at the theater. We went to war, worked together at the Mill, cut corn together, built a house together, hunted and fished together, and then when we retired, we golfed together. I will miss my good friend and I have nothing but fond memories of him.
