Mary Katherine and Betty,
We are grieving with your family but not as those without hope. You will all remain in our prayers.
Grace and peace,
~Uncle George, Aunt Sharon and Family
My big brother is gone and I miss him already, even though it has only been a week.
He and I had so many great memories together, mostly in a boat.
He was a gifted person with so many talents.
I know he is now looking down on me and saying and saying "take care Jerry and mind your big brother"
So sorry for the families loss. Thoughts and prayers to all
I know this is hard for you all I’m continuing to pray for everyone
God is good love y’all
We are grieving with your entire family during this most difficult part of life for us all. Vic was one of the kindest people I know and was always there for everyone at just the right time. He had this special ability to figure out a way when there was no way, and could see things for face value in work as well as people. I'm no stranger to hard work; however, Vic did show me how to move and set up a mobile home several times, which gave me a broader perspective. Especially in the Florida heat. Some of the best times were going fishing, crabbing, and scalloping. A great comic, cook, and a great dad, most of all. He could have been anything, but he chose to be there for all of us. All of you are very special to me, my brother and mom. Thank you for sharing your dad. Semper Fi~
Vic was definitely one of a kind he would always help anyone if they needed it. He was very compassionate. He would take the shirt off his back for you. I will never forget him he will always have a special place in my heart. Love him, Arlene
We will meet again with our SAVIOUR JESUS and all our family and great friends. Thank you for loving my two sons as your own, raising two great daughters, all the wonderful times we shared together .
