David Virgoe News Story: Hero on the 400

http://www.gigababy.com/virgoe/david.html

Heroes often exist within our very midst,
watching out for our wellbeing without
ever knowing it. David Virgoe is such a hero.

On Monday, June 18, 2007, tragic circumstances
resulting from a collision with an alleged speeding
car on Highway 400 south of Highway 89 in Ontario,
Canada claimed David's life - a professional truck
driver for 26 years.

Police and witnesses at the scene have acknowledged
David's heroic actions in the final moments of his life.
David had initiated difficult and deliberate avoidance
maneuvers that, without doubt, prevented other
deaths and injuries from occurring that day.

To his family and friends, David's virtues were well
known - a big rig driver for more than a quarter
century, David lived his life doing what he loved
doing best: covering literally millions of miles of
highway professional, conscientiously and without
a single accident.

With a commitment to tomorrow, let us honour the
memory of David Virgoe by conducting ourselves
on the world's roadways as he had done - safely,
professionally, and with utmost consideration for the
wellbeing of those who share life's journey with us*.
