In loving memory of a dear friend ... Sincere, honest, and trustworthy
are but a few of the characteristics that made you a true friend over the
past thirty years. You were always soft spoken and wore a pleasing smile.
Your life as a devoted husband, a caring father, a true friend, a dedicated
teacher, and a hard working administrator can truly be emulated by the
young males of our community as we rapidly approach the challenges of
the 21st century. Your memory will forever be in our hearts as you rest in
eternal peace!

 MESSAGE FROM THE SENATE PRESIDENT
 I write to express our sorrow on the passing of a distinguished native
son,, Viggo Albert Wallace. When one reflects on the appreciation for
sports, Virgin Islanders will surely identify with Viggo Wallace. He was
unshaken in his resolve to be fit and healthy, and took the time and effort
to pass on to the youth, his verve and affection for good sportsmanship.
We will always remember him for his years of service to this community,
and for enlightening us on the benefits of physical education. On behalf of
the members and staff of the Twentieth Legislature I extend our heartfelt
condolences to the family and many friends of this "quiet giant." May his
soul rest in eternal peace.
 Sincerely, Bingley G. Richardson, Sr., President, 20th Legislature

retirement date at the age of 67, he initiated projects that kept him busy as
a volunteer for many months into his retirement. Among them was the
completion of a new playground and basketball court at the Joseph Gomez
