As a teenager I suffered from nightly leg cramps that caused me terrible pain. One of my dearest memories of my brother Virgil is him sitting on the floor beside my bed rubbing those cramps out of my legs so that i could go to sleep pain free. He was a great brother to grow up with. Rest in peace my brother.

The Pitts family will be in our thoughts and prayers. I had the privilege of meeting Virgil through Grief, Inc. He delivered to our company routinely, and our conversations of the outdoors created a friendship. I was even able to hunt with him on a few occasions. He was a great man and will be deeply missed.
