They were married nearly 65 years and were devoted to one another and to their family. Vic, as most people knew him, was the ultimate good guy; he was always there when anyone needed a hand.

Moving to Wolcott in 1958, Vic was committed to his community, serving on many town boards including the Industrial Commission, The Board of Education, Wolcott Police Department Building Committee, Democratic Town Committee and as a Town Constable. Civic engagement was important to him, and upon moving to Portland in 2000 to be closer to his grandchildren, Vic served on the board at Grandview Farms, holding various positions well into his eighties. Vic could often be seen outside helping the many residents of Grandview Farms with various tasks. In his free time, Vic played bass guitar with many bands and later sang in the choir at Church. He loved sports, coaching Little League while his son was young. He also was an avid golfer and was a fan of both the New York Yankees and the New York Giants. He loved getting together with his friends and family for holidays and to play cards.
