Vic, Dad, Pop, PopPop was a loving husband to Dot for 63 years until her death 
March 12, 2015. He was truly the epitome of a good husband, father, grandfather 
and great-grandfather. He was born in Natchez, Mississippi, but lived in 
Ferriday and Union City, Tennessee during his youth. He attended LSU for two 
years, then attended and graduated from Southwestern Louisiana Institute (SLI) 
in Lafayette. It was there he met his wife, Dot. He then joined the U.S. Army 
and was sent to Camp Rucker in Alabama, where he and Dot were married.

Vic and Dot lived in Lafayette with their four children, then moved to Houma in 
1967. He worked in the oil field and was employed by Gemoco for 29 years. He 
held the positions of sales, vice-president and president of the company. His 
job gave him the opportunity to travel all over the world.

His love of fishing and hunting was evident. He spent many hours in deer stands 
and in his boat. He was also an avid bridge player.
He will be remembered as a kind soul, a true gentleman, a loving father, 
grandfather, a dedicated husband, an honest man, an excellent role model and a 
great joke teller. He created many great memories through which his spirit will 
live on.

The family would like to thank the Skilled Nursing unit at TGMC for the care 
and compassion given in his last days. Thanks also goes to the staff at The 
Homestead.
