Victor was deeply loved by his loving wife "Cathy" of 31 years who
quickly stepped into the role as his "private nurse" during his later
years of life. He is survived by his two daughters: Patricia Gale
Sewer of New Brunswick, NJ; and Jacqueline Joyce Willis and

and wife Palmira of East Providence, RI; and Troy Andrew King and

host of nieces and nephews, sisters-in-law, brothers-in law and friends.
In his 47 years of dedicated service to Jehovah he continued to
maintain his hope in living forever on a paradise earth. He loved
spending time in his ministry. Victor entered the full-time ministry in
September 2007, and continued until his illness caused him to stop.
One of his favorite things to do was to go out in the ministry. He was
known as a family man who loved spending time with his
grandchildren. He also was noted for taking a keen interest in people,
watching old movies, and eating ice cream was often an activity of his.
Victor will be deeply missed. We look forward to seeing him
again on a paradise earth.
