Vic’s story began in SK on the farm. Life here consisted of extremely hard work for unbelievably long hours, even from a young age. When he left home for work, he would always return for harvest time each fall. His work ethic was incredible, his strength unbelievable, love for family was tremendous and pride was indispensable. He could fix anything; if there was no part to purchase, he would make one. He had a love for planes so he became a pilot and enjoyed flying his cessna. You could always count on him for a ride anywhere and his house had an open door policy; you were always welcome in for a drink. He will be greatly missed.
In lieu of flowers, any support for Canadian blood services would be appreciated.
A celebration of life will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 31st at Thomson Funeral Home, 669 Broadway, Winnipeg, MB.
