Victor was a good man and long time friend of our family of 60 + years. We were neighbors in South Bend, In before he moved his family to Kalamazoo. Vic will be missed by everyone who knew him. Thoughts and prayers go out to Phil and Joe, sorry for your loss. He lived a long and full life.

Our sympathies for all Vic’s families. We knew he and Marcie through his grandson Ryan. Played a lot of cards and shared a lot of food and fellowship with them. He always had a smile and a joke and just warmed your heart. He will be missed greatly. In angels wings you soar our friend. Love Ron and Marla Augustine.
