Victor married Rose Mary Watts in 1982.
As a young man, he worked at Brown Feed Store.
In 1989, he was in an accident that left him paralyzed. He never let that get in the way of raising his children. Victor was an advocate for the rights of the aging and disabled. Victor didn’t let his disability stop him from achieving his goals.
He was a member of the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witness in Lampasas. He will be remembered as a strong-willed, stubborn and hard-headed yet kindhearted and witty man who loved his children and grandchildren. He could command a crowd in any room.
