In his spare time he enjoyed doing woodworking projects, gardening, and growing flowers. He had a very generous heart and was always willing to give a helping hand to those in need. He possessed a good sense of humor and enjoyed making people laugh. His family was very important to him and he especially enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Victor was a loving father, grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle, and was a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate his life and know that he will be fondly remembered and greatly missed by all those who knew and loved him.
