During his stay at Dacier Manor, he was noted to play his harmonicas daily as well as singing along with his favorite CD’s. One of his favorite passions was restoring biplanes and flying co pilot with his son Larry. Vic (as his friends called him), was Grand Marshall in 2014 for the local Veterans Day parade. He was a member of St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church. His family meant the world to him and he enjoyed being with them every chance he could get! Everyone always commented that Vic “always had a smile on his face!” He is survived by two daughters, Christine (Don) Herauf, Sparks, NV; Theresa (Mark) Kreyche, Tustin, CA; one daughter-in-law, Barbara Grondzki, Woodstock, GA; two sisters, Florence D’Armino and Jean Pierkowski both of Whiting, NJ; three grandchildren, Kim Nalley, Atlanta, GA, Todd Grondzki, Woodstock, GA, and Laura Kreyche, Tustin, CA; and four great grandchildren.
