‘Mr. Music’ Virgil Syverson passes on
Tuesday, November 29th, 2011Today is a sad day as we learned of the passing of Williston’s “Mr. Music” Virgil Syverson.
At the young age of 94, Virgil was called to his maker, joining his wife Margaret.
Since his arrival in Williston in 1947, Virgil has lifted his baton countless times, heading up the high school, city band, drum and bugle corps….to name a few.
One of his favorite groups was the upcoming TUBA Christmas.
He had organized this group, set to play on Saturday, for the past 19 years.
This group will play on, thinking of him, while playing his favorite song Jingle Bells.
Virgil will be missed by many.
May he trumpet in peace!
