Ray Hess wrote a sympathy message

“To the Virdon Family, Bill was my longtime friend and Masonic brother. I first met Bill through the Pittsburgh Pirate Alumni Association. Bill and I attended a few Masonic meetings in Oakland (Pittsburgh Pa ). Bill was like a father to me. My dad died in February 1960. I was 11 years old and my sister was 9. I used to see Bill when I lived in Mt. Washington and worked at Slater's funeral home. Bill and I had lunch at the Georgetown restaurant and Eat'n Park on Banksville road. Rest in Peace Bill”
