He then used his GI bill to go to University of Massachusetts, then attended Catholic University after relocating to Maryland. He was the first member of his family to earn a Master's Degree. He has always valued education, which he imparted on his family. Vic went on to spend his career working for the government as a technical writer for the NSA where he even wrote a speech for the NSA director.
He is remembered for his sharp wit and dry sense of humor, value of tradition, love of animals (his pet cats and dogs in particular), and for always putting his family first.

He also enjoyed cooking, particularly seafood, reading, and anything involving the beach or being near the water. Also a baseball and football fan, he followed first the Red Sox and Patriots which were later usurped by the Orioles and Ravens after his relocation to Maryland.
