He then changed his career and began selling heavy duty used trucks in Las Vegas, where he worked for his longtime friend. He also enjoyed traveling and selling trucks in Houston and Phoenix and Florida. He eventually retired in 2011.
Vic was a fun-loving caring, kind person and a good friend to all who knew him. Loved playing golf with all his buddies. He was a diehard NY Yankees fan and was so knowledgeable of the many famous players especially his onetime encounter with Joe Dimaggio.
Victor is predeceased in death by his father Victor (1964), his mother Beverly (2022) and brother Frank (2010).

Vic was a wonderful brother-in-law. For over 40 years Vic loved and took care of my sister Lucy. Gave her a beautiful son Michael and was her ROCK. She had a simple but wonderful life. The last 5 year’s Lucy between Vic’s mom and Vic, took care of them with this horrible decease of Dementia and Alshimer which took them both. Lucy’s wishes are for anyone who would like to donate anything, pie are donate to this horrible decease in their name.

I had the privilege of working with Vic at a Golf Sporting store he managed in Miami, FL. He was always very meticulous and very knowledgeable, kind to every person that he met. Customer service was always the main key to his success. He was a great person to work for. Taught me skills that til today I use. Loving and always willing to help others. He loved my sister and cared for my nephew. For thatforever grateful. grateful.
Lucy, Sandy and I send our love and prayer for your loss. Your expression of Vic’s life is so true but modest for those that knew him in life and business. Very few knew what it was like waiting for a starting time at 4:30 AM at Miami Spings and the beers and hour of liars pokers until 4:30 PM the same day. I was one of those golf buddies, and don’t forget the free shirt and golf balls. We were all blessed being part of his life.
Fond memories of Vic, we were Lynx brothers at SWMHS and had many wonderful experiences.
Praying for his family 🙏!
