Sorry to hear of Vic' s passing. He was a great guy and a hard worker. Thanks to him and his snow plow we could make it to work many days. It had been awhile since we saw him and Dawn, but our thoughts and prayers go to the family.

My mom and I lived next to Vic and Shirley on Normand Rd., in Ann Arbor. He was a delight to him as our neighbor. I'm sure his family will miss him, there is a hole in their heart which will never go away. Bless you all!!!!
