My husband and I live near Vic. We would walk daily by his unit and see him sitting on the lawn, tending to his beautiful flowers. I always told him how much I enjoyed his flowers. Whenever we walk by his home now I will see Vic tending to his flowers and say thank you for being a great neighbor. RIP
