He was a member of Endymion and the New Orleans Emerald Society, he made lifelong friends wherever he went. Vic enjoyed fishing, classic cars, shooting at the range, traveling, and building things. He looked forward to his gatherings with his friends and family. His Navy buddies were never far from his thoughts. He built a great life for himself and family, he knew the values of life and cherished the moments that made memories. He endured until the very end, like Paul when he said in II Timothy 4:7-8, "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. Henceforth, there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness."
