Vic grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana where he attended St. Aloysius High School and Nicholls State University. He started his restaurant career opening some of the first KFC franchises in the New Orleans area in the early 1970’s. He moved to Jacksonville, Florida in the early 1990’s where he continued managing KFC and other chain restaurants before semi-retiring.

He enjoyed listening to music, watching football and baseball, bowling, playing cards, and sci-fi and horror books and movies. Most of all, he loved spending time with his family. He was dedicated, hard-working, loving, and made everyone around him laugh with his stories and sense of humor.
