Virgilio (Papi) was a positive, spiritual, loving, and fun person. He was a devoted son, husband, father, abuelo, brother, uncle and friend. He always brought such an impactful sense of calm to any room. He was the “light” of the party and always wanted the best for his family and all who crossed his path. Papi could create something out of nothing with his carpenter skills that were self-taught. He raised a family with a tool belt, hammer and nails. Papi never forgot his home, “My Country”, the Dominican Republic. He passed on to his family every day his many amazing cultural traits and his love of music.
