NAPLES, Fla. -- Virgil E. Shreiner died early Monday morning June
16, 2008, at Bentley Care Center in Naples, Fla. He was 96 years
old.
Virgil was born in Barberton, to William H. and Sadie (Zook)
Shreiner on Dec. 27, 1911.
Starting his career as a stock person and manager at grocery
stores while still in high school, he was dedicated enough to finish
a year early. Virgil continued working several jobs while pursuing a
double major in chemistry and physics at Otterbein College in
Westerville. Virgil was the oldest surviving member of Zeta Phi, a
fraternity he helped found at Otterbein.
After graduation, he then came back to Barberton and became head
chemist at Seiberling Rubber Company. ...
