I was so sorry to read of Vic’s passing but wanted to share with Micheal, Carrie and all his family and friends, Vic was truly a great person. The time my sister Beth and I spent there during summer and holiday visits to your home on Cone St are still among my fondest childhood memories. He such a perfect example of a neighbor and friend, in so many different ways; welcoming, helpful, funny and appreciative. We are all so fortunate to have known him. Blessings to Vic and his entire family. He will be remembered in wonderful ways.

Carrie and Michael,
So sorry to hear of your father’s passing. What a beautifully written tribute to the life of a kind and wonderful man. He was a good friend to my Dad and a mentor to me. My own memories of babysitting at your home, the many Thanksgiving Road Race parties (especially my first Grog), and the times my Mom would make sausage and peppers and ask my Dad to “ sneak them to Vic” always make me smile and have been shared with my own children.
My sincerest condolences to you both.

Heartfelt condolences to Mike, Carrie, Henry and all of Vic’s family and (many) friends on his passing.
‘Talk’ about a life well-lived…
Throughout my many (chronological, yet scant-few emotionally developed)* years - have yet to meet a nicer, funnier, warmer and/or more caring human being than Vic (with Judy being his equal, of course, in all mentioned categories + many more).
*Proud + appropriately-seated member “…relegated to the 'kids' table, measured by [lack of] maturity of course”.
ALWAYS loved time, well, spent at 44 Cone St with Vic and Judy, et al (+ appreciated opportunity to manage Vic’s building on Center St, as well) + putting up with Henry (I jest, of course), etc.
‘Speaking’ of Henry (even though it’s not his turn): just cracks me up to think of Henry and Vic as roommates (and there’s GOT to be a joke in there re: 2 [alleged] dudes, a dog and a chicken…). While Vic and Judy were the quintessential ‘2 peas in a pod’ - Vic and Henry had to be more like 2 pees in a pad.
And ‘speaking’ of uromysitisis…
Coincidentally (also) scaled Mt Washington ‘back in the day’ —> alongside Mike/Michael (and select other faux ECSU Ski Club members) via Tuckerman’s Ravine. After learning that Vic had previously scaled Mt Washington (though he via Tuckerman’s Latrine), finally makes sense as to why we routinely happened upon (yellow) snow ‘carvings’ along the trail proclaiming: “IP XO VM.” (We thought it was aliens – when, in fact, it was actually Vic that had done the ‘alienating’.)
Kudos to Carrie (clearly the TRUE journalist of the family) for authoring such a wonderful, well-deserved tribute to Dad, Vic (we won’t mention to the aspiring Miriam Webster that it’s: INCLEMENT weather, btw…).
That said —> can’t thank Carrie enough for leaving us all with the (small) mind’s eye eternal brain-burn visuals of Vic in his ‘birthday suit’ and/or he and Judy 'dirty' dancing to Notorious B.I.G. (and just when we groggy [would-be] joggers were starting to like the guy!).
Eternally grateful for being welcomed + treated as family by Vic, Judy and family, as well as for being turned on to pre-road race carbs-building pasta —> which I still eat daily, many moons later (sans the road race part…) + Vic’s pro-salad/pro-fiber ‘fave’ term: ‘proper elimination’ —> which has made me smile for decades (before AND after…).
May Vic rest in peace, now back where he truly belongs:
Right beside Judy, throughout the (White Sands Beach) sands of time…
Sincerely,
Doug

Dear Friends,
We are so very sorry to learn of Vic's passing. We have such happy memories of him, ie the lobster cookout at The Cape when we scrounged for rocks on the beach for cracking the lobster shells.
Vic and Elissa were classmates @WHS in '56, and we always will remember him as a fun loving "mensch".
May his memory always be a blessing, and may he rest in peace.

Vic was a wonderful man that I had the pleasure of working with for many years in Real Estate. Your Story of him made me laugh and cry . He will be truly missed

One of the finest most honorable man I've ever met in my entire life. A true gentleman, a good friend, always with a smile and never a cross word to anyone in the 30 years I knew him. We lost a good man today. Rest in peace my man, give Judy a kiss for me.
