Age 87

Virgil R. Lusk was born April 4, 1937 in Tulare, CA to Earl and Inez Lusk.  He died March 13, 2025.

Virgil was raised on a farm and upon graduation from high school he enlisted in the Air Force. He had a very successful 28 year 10 months and 15 day military career. He always made sure we counted those 10 months and 15 days.

After retirement he worked for a defense contractor for 5 years and then retired from corporate life. After that he did what he loved, which was woodworking. He worked at the Offutt Air Force Base wood hobby shop making shadow boxes for flags and medals and helped others learn the trade. He also made crosses, pulpits, and other specialty items for various churches and organizations in the Bellevue area. Virgil will be greatly missed by all his family and friends.

Virgil is survived by his wife Helen; his daughters Brenda (Keith) Bishop and Pamela (Matthew) Schweitzer; grandchildren Erin, Justin (Kelsey), Kelsey (Greg), Lindsay and Evan and by his great grandchildren Kobe, Brayden, Lucas and Wilodene.
