Victor proudly served in the Korean War and was deployed to the front line on Christmas Eve, his favorite holiday. He loved his country and enjoyed sharing his many war stories. Victor loved boating, fishing and his home at Gandy’s Beach where he made many friends over the years. Manhattan cocktail hour was always at 5:00pm!
