Survivors include, three children, Son, Christopher Roystuart, Daughter, Natalie and husband Andrew Stanton, Son, Michael and wife Jenna Roystuart; two grandchildren, Bianca and Kameron Stanton, all of Little Rock.

I worked with Vic about 12 years before I got to know him and was placed in a desk right behind him in the rating board. Being a person who requires quiet for concentration, I told him up front that I would hit him in the head if he disturbed me. He never did. I became close friends with him. He told me his favorite place in the world was in Taiwan when he was in the Air Force and had a 3 story home with a cook and maid and vehicle. He also said his favorite movie was Top Gun because he showed it to the soldiers he was supervising before a mission who were a little subdued and it really got them going. Vic was a leader and a motivator and knew a good deal when he saw one. He will be missed.

Vic was a wonderful and caring man. I enjoyed my many years of working with him at the VA Regional Office. My favorite memory would be when he attended a New Year's Eve party with a few of us from work and demonstrated a "carrier landing". I must say I had never seen that before and I am sure will never see it performed as good a Vic did that night! My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. May God bless you and keep you!

Vic was one of the best friends I ever had. We shared countless unforgettable moments on and off the golf course. He was set in his ways - certainly a dog that belonged to himself - but Vic was one of the most warm-hearted, generous people I ever met. Nat, Michael & family, my prayers are with you. I'm blessed that Vic touched my life. I miss my friend terribly. Godspeed Victor, Godspeed.
