Victor Ill Obituary

Visit the Church & Chapel Funeral Home - Waukesha/Pewaukee website to view the full obituary.
Victor Thomas Ill, 81, of Waukesha WI, born to eternal life on November 9th, 2025. Born on July 18th, 1944, in Milwaukee, WI. He was a devoted husband to Eileen (Engeldinger) for 56 years, loving father to Scott (Carissa), Jacqueline Topp (John), and Bradley, and proud Grandfather to Colton and Charlotte Topp. In addition to his parents (Thomas and Margaret Ill), he was preceded in death by his sister Janet Ill and survived by his brother David Ill. Vic was an Army veteran (1965-1967), was a successful business owner (Vic's Prime Meats) for 25 years, and valued member of the community as a coach and mentor.

Vic was the happiest when he was surrounded by family and friends. He enjoyed feeding everyone too much food and was known for his popcorn and secret recipes that he shared with everyone. He was an avid fan of all WI sports teams and was the biggest cheerleader for his grandchildren. Vic's large personality and caring heart will be missed, but his family traditions and memories will forever be in all of our hearts.

A Memorial Gathering will be held on Friday November 14, 2025, at CORPUS CHRISTI-ST. MARY'S CHURCH, 221 S. Hartwell Ave. from 2-3:30PM with a Memorial Mass at 3:30PM.
