Cathy and Bryan,

I was so saddened to hear of Vic's passing. He was always so kind to me when starting my agency and when I was dealing with my cancer and I have never forgotten that. His bright light will be missed by so many.

My mother passed away yesterday, November 25th or I would surely have been at his services today. I pray for you and your family's peace and strength during this time.

"Surely it is God who saves me.
I will trust in Him and not be afraid,
For the Lord is my stronghold and my sure defense,
And He will be my Savior.    Isaiah 12:2

Love and Peace,

When I first got interested in the insurance business, I was told to interview Vic. He was very honest about this industry. He told me about the trials and tribulations involved with it. He told me on the commitment involved and what it took to succeed. I've thanked Vic before numerous times. for his help and guidance. Because of the time Vic gave me, I have paid it forward to other agents interested in the insurance field. Thank you Vic for your guidance. You could not ask for a better guy.

Our sincere condolences to Cathy, Bryan, and all family. Vic was a wonderful person, neighbor, and friend. He will be greatly missed. We feel blessed to have had the opportunity to know Vic. He was always happy with a bigger than life smile and always so thoughtful. One of our best memories are of Vic lighting up like a kid when he knew we were making homemade ice cream and always sneaking a second bowl. We love you Vic. The Songer Bunch
