Victor was born in Pasadena, California but was raised in his parents' home community of Moosehorn, Manitoba. He moved to Winnipeg in the early 1970s and attended Red River College. Victor pursued a busy career in Hairdressing for 23 years. Health issues forced Victor to change careers and for some years he provided respite care for adults in Community Assisted Living. Victor's kind and patient nature and unceasing ability to find humour in every situation made him a wonderful care provider. For the past three years Victor has devoted himself to providing full time care to Robert who had developed a special connection with Victor. Victor was a devoted and loving parent and for the past ten years was a full time stay at home Dad to his two children. Victor also enjoyed a loving and close relationship with his three stepdaughters and he adored his four grandsons. Victor loved to cook and he was an accomplished and creative chef. He enjoyed camping with his family and he was particularly attached to Blue Lake where he and the family returned every year for vacation. Victor was a quiet gentle man with a great sense of humour who enjoyed the simple pleasures of life. Victor was a great friend to have and was loved by all who knew him. He was a devoted family man and steadfast and loving companion to his wife for the past 26 years. His passing will leave a huge void but also many happy memories to treasure.

By the way, the funniest moment that I recall of Vic was when I took him into the RRCC Radio Campus Broadcast Studio and put some headphones on him in a sound proof studio and let him hear his own voice. The look on his face was hilarious as he couldn't believe what he actually sounded like. He didn't talk much, just kept saying "testing" wondering if something would change or happen. Maybe that's why he remained so soft spoken for the rest of his life. - Posted by: Les Jankiewicz (friend) on: Jul 18, 2022

I met Vic in 1973 at RRCC,,, after completing his hair styling course, he became my stylist until 1981 when my wife (married -1979) and I moved from Wpg to Dphn after the passing of my mother at 58 (lung cancer). So the last time Vic would have cut my hair was 1980. After my appointment, we went to a specialty chicken restaurant on Pembina Highway for supper,,,, and the last time that I would have had contact with Vic until I read this obituary just the other day (2022). I had heard from my sister-in-law (hair stylist in Wpg - Vito's) that Vic worked at a hair shop in Osborne Village with a lady owner who later passed away from kidney disease. My wife passed away in 2014 (lung cancer),,, seems like the good ones leave too soon. Hope you get my message,,,, take care, Les - Posted by: Les Jankiewicz (friend) on: Jul 17, 2022
