He was born in Teor Driolassa, Italy on March 7, 1931 and immigrated to Canada with his cousin Luigi in 1956. Victor was a long time employee of CP Rail and a proud member of the Gruppo Alpini. Known as Dad, Nonno, and Toto he could always be found fixing things, lending a helping hand and was always open to providing his opinion. He loved going to the trailer in Riding Mountain then to the cottage in Gimli with his loving wife. He also enjoyed fixing cars, hunting and fishing, and in later years got a lot of enjoyment watching his grandchildren play hockey and soccer. Family was the most important thing to Nonno, and his grandchildren were the light of his life.

The family would like to thank Dr. Pat Harris, Dr. Milner, the Home Care Workers and many nurses. Thank you also to the staff at Riverview Health Centre for the care received during his brief stay.
