I just reconnected with your son this week after 40 years and was very sad to hear of your passing last December. My dad passed in 1987, so I bet you and he are reunited now, joking around and smoking cigs catching up in heaven. RIP.

RIP Vic... between the music and the jokes, my friends and I always had a great time with you. I am profoundly saddened by the news, even this late after...

At least Sinatra 1 and Sinatra 2 are together now.

Uncle Vic, I can't believe you're gone. You were a wonderful soul and I will never forget you. I am unable to make it tomorrow so I sent this poem I wrote with my Dad to read:

Sinatra in Disguise…..

As Christmas quickly approaches
It makes me stop and think
Of all the wonderful lives we lost
It all happened in a blink

Uncle Vic was an incredible man
Frank Sinatra in disguise
His voice was so amazing
His face I can see when I close my eyes

He was our family
Not just a friend
For many years
Through thick and thin

I wish I could have hugged him
Just one last time
I wish I heard his voice sing
Just one more Sinatra line

Forever in my heart
Is where he will stay
Life is just too precious
Is what I always say

Watch over us Uncle Vic
Keep us safe from harm
Until we meet again
Where I can hug you with my arms


Love Always,

Jennifer Marie Calabrese

I had the pleasure of working with Vic back in the '80s I guess it was...
He loved life, family, and friends.
He loved Sinatra, and playing guitar,but most of all, Vic loved to make you laugh, and kept us in stitches all day long,
The world is a sadder place without him.
My condolences to Carol and Vic's family.
Rest in peace my friend, we'll miss you.

I will miss Vic. What a great entertainer. We enjoyed his many performances at the Sinatra Room...it won't be the same for us.

Our condolences and Prayers to the family.

Elizabeth and I will miss Vic very much. He called me a couple of times a week just to see how we were doing. In my view, no one sang "All the Way" better than Vic - and I mean no one. Playing drums with him at Casa for all those years was a very special time of my life. Our prayers are with all of Vic's family at this time.
