After his military services, he returned to Roddis and later became employed at Felker Bros., manufacturing as a welder. He retired from Felker Bros. in 1999.

Virgil loved his cottage, fishing, snowmobiling, dancing, bowling, four wheeling and time with his family. He taught his grandchildren how to fish and took them on pontoon rides.
