Very sorry to hear of the loss of Virgil, he was a great person. I had lived next door to him for several years on Clay St. He would always plant a small garden and have blackberries that he would share with our family. May God Bless and thinking of you in your time of loss.

I would like to express my condolences to the family of Virgil Streck Sr. Virgil Jr. and I were friends from the the Washington School days. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time of sadness.
Virgil, Sherry, Milton:
I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you. I thought a lot of your father. With lots of good memories at the Streck house, I think of you all often.
I would like to express my thoughts and prayers to Virgil’s family.I knew him many years ago when my son played baseball in the deer park league, then recently helped him at Rolling Hills Library when he came to get audiobooks. He was an interesting, talented man who I looked forward to talking to. I remember him bringing in the beautiful carved wood pens he made and giving each one of the girls who helped him a pen of their choice!
Thanks again Virgil
I am very sorry for your loss. I will keep your family close to my heart and in my prayers during this trying time.
