Victor was an army veteran serving in Germany spreading joy as a mailman. A lifelong carpenter, he worked with his father and brother providing homes for many. He eventually retired from National Lumber in North Haven. Victor had a large circle of friends of all ages, both here and in Florida, including Jennifer Ryan who is his fourth “adopted” daughter. Victor was a person who would light up a room. He would put a smile on the face of everyone, as he said, “good for you to see me”. We will remember all of his jokes, comic situations and mostly his love. He will live in our hearts and “funny bones” forever.
