He was born Aug. 14, 1937, in Warsaw, to Virgil V. Sr. and Freda Jontz Shirey. On April 20, 1957, in Columbia City, he married Marilyn Anderson, who survives.

He was a member of Bourbon American Legion and Warsaw Moose Lodge. He enjoyed golfing with Marilyn and his sons. He also enjoyed fishing and gardening. He was organized, strict but fair, was a good husband who worked hard and was a good provider. He enjoyed a wide age range of friends. In younger days, the family would travel which might include camping and exploring different zoos as they went. He was fun-loving and would do anything for anyone.
