He and Mom spent many happy years together, working on their house and yard, spending time with family and friends, camping and fishing, and travelling, but mostly just being together. Victor was a great dad, always there when we needed him. He was a very special grandpa to all his grandchildren and great-grandchildren; he loved them dearly and enjoyed entertaining and playing with them.

Uncle Victor was a legend ! He could play anything to make music! His guitar playing inspired my to play guitar. When I was a young boy , uncle victor and auntie Irene would come over for supper to mom and dads I would run to my room and get my guitar out of the closet and get a bread clip and watch and listen in amazement and he would sing and play for hours He always had a big smile and never had a bad word to say about anything. Will miss his warm manners and his great sense of humour!! “”(See you later my boy)”” Thank you for all the great times and memories! Till we meet again. - Posted by: Laurie Dear (Nephew ) on: Mar 18, 2018
