I met Virgil eons ago and I believe he may have come to a couple of my parties. Throughout the years we have remained friends even though we didn't see each other all that much. May he Rest in Eternal Peace and may his memory be a comfort to family and friends alike.

It was over 30 years ago when I first met Virgil on my first trip to New York and I remember so much about that special visit. I'm glad I had the chance to talk to Virgil a few months ago and remember those days. Virgil was a very caring person and loved taking care of his patients. My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Virgil. He was a special person.
