After high school, Victor went to UBC and received a degree in Agrology. Summer jobs in Toronto as a chemist and the Yukon as a surveyor, hinted at Victor’s enjoyment of travel and seeing new places.

Victor settled his family on a hobby farm in the Township of Spallumcheen and remained there until he passed. A private person with a kind, dry wit, Victor was tireless and generous with his time including being part of the Highland Park School PAC and involved with Armstrong Minor Hockey all while active in favourite activities such as hiking, boating, cross country skiing and what he called “country living”.
A collector of experiences, Victor was able to attend a Vancouver Canucks hockey game in person for the first time in the spring of 2023..
After retirement, Victor travelled extensively to Mexico, Machu Picchu in Peru, Scotland, England, Thailand, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick and the Yukon (twice!).
