Vic passed away suddenly at home in Surrey B.C. on February 24, 2017.
He was born on May 1, 1941 in Victoria. He lived his whole life on Vancouver Island and referred to himself as a “Victoria boy”.
Vic was an all-around athlete throughout his life and was a long-time member of the Royal Colwood Golf Club.
Then 3 years ago, he had a sense of adventure and convinced his beloved wife Donna to move to Vancouver and start a new chapter in their lives. They then split their time between Vancouver and Mexico.
He is survived by his wife Donna; daughter Judy (her mom Jean); Donna’s children Rod (Anne), Jim, Lori (Jamie); grandchildren Joe, Emma, Jake and Bryan; two sisters, Diane and Sherry and cousin Gary and of course his four legged children, Lacey and Chiquita.
Vic was predeceased by his father Alf, and mother Mickey.
Vic worked his life as a Chartered Accountant until Donna convinced him to spend their winters in their much loved second home in Puerto Penasco, Mexico. They made amazing friends and memories south of the border and encouraged their entire family to come down to share their happiness.
“So long Pops, we love you!”
There will be a celebration of his life at his beloved Royal Colwood Golf Club, 629 Goldstream Avenue, on Saturday, March 11 at 2 pm.
Condolences may be offered to the family below.

Dear Donna,
I am filled with sadness to hear of Vic’s death. He meant so much to my family, and truly, he saved us from a very difficult situation. He was a powerful shield, and we wouldn’t be where we are now if it weren’t for him. Such a wonderful man, solid, supportive, kind, and full of insights.
Our condolences –
