I am sending my deepest condolences to Victors family. I was one of Victors care managers at Elmwood, and I had the greatest privilege of getting to know him. He really could brighten ones day. All he ever talked about was his wife and how he couldnt wait to see her again one day. I hope you are having the time of your life up there Vic , See you later alligator, after while crocodile.

Cara and I offer our sincerest condolences on the passing of uncle Victor. I have many fond memories of uncle Vic, especially the times he came to the farm to help Dad work on building projects. Vic would do the engineering and do the lay outs on the rafters, then Dad could copy the pattern and build the rest.
May he rest in peace.
