Vic will be remembered for his kindness, generosity and love for all. He phoned his family and friends every Saturday morning checking to make sure that all was well with everyone, as well as calling each year on their birthday to sing to them. Vic loved to sit and share his scrapbook of his time in the Navy with others. He loved baking cookies and loved sharing them with everyone. He never hesitated to make time for his children and grandchildren and made each one feel special. He will be missed by many as he truly made this world a better place for everyone he knew.
