    Dave, Derek and the entire Solari family - we recall seeing your Dad at many hockey games over the years. We are so sorry for your loss. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

    Darlene, Dave, Nick, Marissa.. And the entire Solari Family.. Marty and I are deeply saddened to hear of your loss. There are no words that can help you heal.. No amount of time that can ease your pain.. No hug long enough to comfort you right now ... Just know that your entire family is in our prayers.. If there is anything you need.. Say the word! I have a little side note to make you smile.. When I was in High School, I was awarded the highest honor of awards ( in the words of Mr. Brickley and Mr. Fisher ).. The award was for the athlete who gave their absolute best effort at everything they did. Practice, game, sportsmanship.. That award was the Vicki Solari Award. I have never forgotten how special that award was, and what a privilege it was to receive it. After putting the pieces together a few years ago, I realized Vicki was Dave's sister. It's even more special to me now.. Knowing what an amazing family the Solari Family is. Just wanted to share that with you. May God hold your hearts in His gentle hands. Much love to you all

    December 11, 2014 Over the years, Vic has been to me, a role model, a mentor and a great friend. Sad as I am at his passing, I feel blessed for his influence and his friendship. My thoughts are with Diane and the family.

    Vic was the best. The best!!! I was lucky to be his next door neighbor on Lincoln Rd. for many many years. There were countless great memories: The pool parties, the fireworks, the 4th of July parties and his race car in the back yard he would start from time to time. Vic was always there if you were in a jam. Many many times he would get my car started or fix my dirt bike. And he was always happy to do it. He even took me to get my dirt bike in West Bridgewater when I was a kid. He was such a cool guy, always smiling. One day around 12 years ago I came home to find Vic working in my basement. I didn't even know he was there. At the time I was having my basement finished and he showed up out of the blue to lend a hand. That's the kind of guy he was. I'll never forget him.
