To our sweetheart Vic;
Sure missed your smile and hugs when you moved to LA.
Such a trouble maker and prankster you and dad (Ray) couldn´t stay out of trouble. We know your tricks and laughter will continue in Heaven.
Condolences to Dawn on your loss! Your dad was special just like mine!

I was just with my mom, Yvonne Hayes at the 100th anniversary of the Hamilton Chapter of Izaak Walton League, when we began talking about Vic. I enjoyed chatting with Vic at the Haunted Hayride and other functions. I was reminded he taught me how to catch a fish with my bare hands, a skill I have not used since. He was a charmer and will be missed.

A lot of great memories, him teaching our daughter to catch trout with her hand, traveling to IWLA conventions, him selling Dan a tin for $5.00 with a Beretta in it, Dan saying I can´t take it and Vic´s reply, you brought it. Treasured memories of a great friend.
