Victor was born in Flint, Michigan on March 3, 1949, the son of the late Marion (Bush) and Delores (Schwartz) Trembley. Victor is survived by his wife, Victoria (Schniers) Trembley, two daughters, Cynthia (Trembley) Milia and Jennifer (Trembley) Russell of Westin Lakes, TX. Cynthia’s husband Matthew of Charlotte, NC and five grandchildren; Maticyn Milia, Anna Milia, Anthony Milia, of Charlotte, NC. and Luke Russell and Tanner Russell of Westin Lakes, TX. Four brothers, M. Bushnell “BUD” of Los Angeles, Ca, James of Grand Blanc, MI, Stephen of Seattle, WA and Robert of Clinton Twp., MI. Eight cousins, Don and Diane Rockwell, Denny and Linda McGovern, Mike and Judy McGovern, and Glen and Nancy McMillian.
On October 25, 1968 he married the love of his life Victoria Lynn Schniers in Flint at St. Matthews Catholic Church. Although, Victor attended St. Matthews High School in Flint where he was honored as an All-American football player, Victor and Victoria were the personification of high school sweethearts. They were inseparable and enjoyed a life filled with laughter, love and an adorning family that gathered at their house on holidays to celebrate. You could often find them laughing, wandering around stores looking at knick knacks or shopping for upcoming family activities. They enjoyed traveling to casinos around Michigan after they both retired where Victor loved playing the penny slot machines dreaming of the day he would, “Hit the Big One”.
Victor received his Specialist accreditation in Education and was a beloved teacher for over thirty years at Grand Blanc and Kearlsey High Schools. He had many deep relationships with the people he worked with and the children he taught. With English as his passion, he was a craftsman with words and often composed poems and rhymes in his free time. He was never too busy to give students feedback on their papers or encouraging words to a struggling student. He positively impacted many children’s lives in the Grand Blanc area. Victor is also fondly remembered by many Grand Blanc high schoolers as the “cool guy who taught me to drive”. His patience and perseverance were never on display more than when he was teaching. Although he attended St. Matthew’s, he will forever be a Bobcat at heart.
To Victor there was only one season…Hunting season. Victor hunted pheasant, duck, turkey,and buffalo, but his favorite season by far was deer hunting season. To most, deer hunting season was maybe a couple weeks long, but to Victor, October thru December was ALL deer hunting season. He loved the autumn wind and the changes in the seasons. Victor had an admiration and respect for the animals he hunted and learned endlessly from their movements and tendencies. When hunting season ended, Victor quickly adapted to fishing. His freezer was always full of perch or bluegill and nothing tasted better than a fish fry at Grandpa Victor’s house. He was a great cook and would always be the first one rising unbelievably early in the morning to get the coffee started and watch the sunrise. The smell of breakfast in the morning or a venison roast in the evening were a familiar and welcoming symbol of Victor and Vickie’s household.
Victor was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and friend. Not a day will go by without his friends and family fondly remembering him. Whether he was working with his grandchildren on English papers, running around the front yard having a crabapple fight or Sling Shot tournaments at the family cabin he was always there to teach, guide, laugh and most importantly love his family. The life he built with Victoria was special and filled with love. Victor was always the voice of reason and logic. He did not shy away from confronting issues that concerned him and always approached them with discipline and good intentions. He was a loving man who left this world earlier than expected, but leaves behind a family better for the time, love and lessons he devoted to them. He will be forever missed.
