VIRGINILLO Bradley

September 29, 1962 – March 8, 2013
With both sadness and peace we announce the passing of Bradley Virginillo after a long and courageous battle with cancer.
Brad was born in Lethbridge and raised on the family farm near Coaldale, Alberta. He attended Kate Andrews High School and then moved to Calgary where he attended the University of Calgary. He graduated with a degree in chemical engineering that began his twenty-eight year career in the oil and gas industry. Brad enjoyed hunting, skiing, camping, gardening, boating and most of all, spending time with friends and family.
Brad will be remembered for his great big smile and optimism, as well as his witty sense of humour. He will be dearly missed by all whose lives he has touched.
