Vic loved all of his family and his many friends. Vic also loved to play golf at the Rockland Golf Course and at GSV Golf Club in Florida. In his Florida retirement he was known as the “Ever Ready Bunny” always helping everyone with golf cart repairs, sealing driveways, and helping anyone he could. Vic was the best “evah” Santa Claus for many years at a local nursing home and brought smiles all around the retirement community.

Lorimer (Scott) of Duxbury, and stepson Scott M. Haggerty (Glenda) of Rockland. Vic was so very blessed to have five fabulous grandchildren Nathen, Jacob, Eden, Emily, and Griffin.

    The only golfer I knew that would use a putter when he was 30 yards away from the hole and almost make it. We'll miss him down at good Samaritan Village golf 😢course.

    We wish to offer our condolences to Ann and her family. Kathy and I are deeply saddened by the passing of our good neighbor, Vic. Vic loved keeping up his property and exhibited tremendous energy working around his home. If you needed something, such as; a tool or just some advise, Vic was there to help. We will think of him often and miss seeing him in his yard riding on his mower or using his leaf blower to clean up his driveway. May he rest in peace.
