Victor loved his grandchildren and spoiled them at every opportunity. He enjoyed traveling, particularly throughout the American West where he could pursue his interest in wildlife and scenic photography. He was a devoted Iowa Hawkeye fan and enjoyed watching and attending Cubs games.
He was preceded in death by his parents and two brothers, Thomas and William.
