Kay and Family:
I am so very sorry to hear of Vic’s passing, he was quite the fellow and a good guy to work with. He was always smiling and he worked very hard while we were both at McMillan Transport. I will remember him fondly. You take care and be safe and healthy, Wayne.
Condolences to Kay & family. I have been thinking about you,wondering how you two were doing.Sympathy to you & your family . From Edna & Gorden Zacharias
I knew Vic through Darcy and Vickie. I met him when I was six years old and remained friends until I left Medicine Hat which was after 22 years living there. I spent lots of hours at the Christman household. I remember growing up that Vic would like to tease us when we were playing at his house. When I moved to Lethbridge I didn’t see him but would see his comments on Facebook from time to time. He always had a good sense of humour that came through in his comments. My heart goes out to the family. He will be a presence that will be missed. R.I.P Victor.
You taught me everything I know about trucks, that right your fault lol. So glad I come home when I did and spent the time with you. Loved watching the hockey together even though you may have slept through some. I know you said you weren’t in pain but deep down think you just didn’t want anybody to bother. Rip and will miss you everytime I come home now

I’ll never forget how kind and accepting you were. Give Tia a hug up there. I’ll always felt like I was part of your family. My children will miss their Grandpa Canada. xx
