Victor was raised on the farm, working with his parents in their cattle and grain farming operation. He attended school for two years in a one room country school house.

Victor continued to help his family on the farm, doing many of the chores and field work with horses. He was a hard worker and even had to help fix the farm machinery as needed. Victor worked various jobs, but always found time for his nieces and nephews. He especially enjoyed bringing them treats.

Victor was a very kind man, and always helped out whenever and wherever he could. He was also mischievous, and always liked to play many tricks on his brothers and sister, it was fun for him, but not fun for them. Victor also enjoyed music, especially playing his harmonica and the piano.

He will be missed greatly by his family.
