Tita Chi, JV, Issa and family…I'm so sorry for your loss. Tito Virgil was truly a role model, with his love for family, hard working ways and what I remember most was his passion for cars. JV(John) has been my closest friend from day one. When we were little, I remember always getting picked up by JV's parents in the Red Rabbit or SAAB, both of which were stick(manual transmission), something I had never seen before back then. I loved watching Tito Virgil drive, switching through the gears and popping the clutch. I told myself my first car will be stick…sure enough it was. Tito Virgil taught JV stick, JV taught me, and I'm forever thankful for that connection. I will miss going over his house, watching Tito Virgil go to town on his cars…engine parts scattered throughout the garage, the sounds of tools ratcheting and oily/greasy hand shakes. A fond memory never to be forgotten. Take care Tito Virgil! My condolences again to the Dio Family. JV, "Be Easy" Bro!
Please accept our sincerest condolences on the passing of Berling Dio. He was a very compassionate, generous and kind individual. He will be missed.
Our deepest condolences to the family with the passing of our good friend Virgil. We have had many good times and many fun moments over the years and will miss his greatly. He impressed us with his concern for his family and his passion for life. We all can take something from him. The kids should be most proud having him as a dad. He is now at peace in the sight of Our Lord and will be in our prayers.
