So sorry for the loss of your father. Vic was such a gentleman and I enjoyed working with him at Comstock. Job closings were hectic; but, we got through them. I also had the pleasure of speaking to him a number of times over the years during our time spent living in Sandy Hook. He will be missed. - Posted by: Fern McDonald (Stefaniw) (Co-worker (secretary) Comstock) on: Mar 05, 2014

I have so many great memories of my Uncle Vic. My earliest are family Christmas dinners where Uncle Vic always helped in the kitchen with dinner and he always carved the turkey. Next were all the family gatherings at the lake in Matlock. And of course he always made you feel welcome no matter how many of us there were. He was always happy to have us. More recently we always looked forward to having him stop in for a visit when he came to Winnipeg and share a cup of tea. And I know he really enjoyed it when we had gatherings at our home. He and my dad joined the Mason's at the same time and this allowed me to join Job's Daughters, which was a wonderful experience. He was always willing to lend a hand wherever needed and a shoulder when needed as well. He was a true gentleman. I will miss my Uncle Vic very much. - Posted by: Carolyn Stefanik (Niece ) on: Feb 20, 2014

We purchased the home across the street from Vic in Sept/06 and moved to Matlock on July 1, 2007. Vic was the first person we met on the street, and was always a friendly and helpful neighbour. He was also an extremely active member of the community, helping out at church, Matlock Rec Centre, and Winnipeg Beach Legion events on an ongoing basis. He looked after the poppy campaign every year, washed dishes at the hall when needed, and always lent a helping hand to all. He will be missed by everyone he touched. - Posted by: Doreen and Reg Pendgracs (neighbours) on: Feb 15, 2014
