Vic was very special to both of us. Barb first met him when he took Millie to re-hab. Barb was also a patient then. We renewed our vows with Vic & Millie at the olf church. More recently when Barb was so ill, he visited her several times and brought communion. I always enjoyed my conversations with him and they usually ended with a good story. He will be missed by all but we know he is now with his Darling Millie.
I will always have good memories of Vic from the gatherings in your home. He was fun to be around and I know he will be missed. I am thinking of you both.
Love, Renee
What a blessing your dad, grandfather is. He touched someone every day in his special way. Whether he smiled at you, shared or told a story, gave you a STRONG hug, brought you communion, or just by being himself. No matter what he claimed, he LOVED children. My family is sad to hear of your loss, but we rejoice in Vic's life and knowing that he is now with his beloved Millie, we know he is safe, happy and smiling while giving Millie an ear full. I can see them dancing and swinging on the dance floor, cause Vic still has the moves. Happy thoughts fill my heart with knowing your dad and grandfather, what a legacy he has left for each of you and for each of us. No one can fill his shoes but we can and will rejoice in the love that he shared with each of us. He will be dearly missed but he will live on in our hearts forever. Because Vic will never be forgotten. May the Lord bless each of you and give you strenght, hope and guidance in the days to come.
Love Always: Ricky, Pam, Tiffany and Zachary Grimlsey
