R.I.P. Virgil. I appreciated our friendship. Very cool hotrodder. Loved the streetrod. I will miss you my friend.
Sue , you have my sincere sympathy to you and family, Beaver was a great person, friend and neighbor to all of us in Frisco Hills neighborhood. He would stop by my house and show me his new truck (which looks identical to mine) and gave me elephant ears and paw paws he found . He was such a treasured person , you all will be in my prayers .
