Vic - You were always mellow and a sweet person, from the mid '60's when I first saw you playing bass at a drummer's marathon on Broadway; and later when I lived next door to you on Summer St. I only saw you a few times in recent years, but I'll always remember you and your encouragement. Peace good brother.
