Vic liked the simple life, he enjoyed hunting, fishing, dirt track racing, a good game of pool, working in his yard, tending to his flowers and working with wood making prized pieces for family and friends He was proud of his Jeep, and his new yard tractor, and could spend hours just driving the back roads of Iowa with his favorite co-pilot, Marcene. He was known to many as one very intuitive soul, never bashful to ask a question! But the cherry on his sundae was his family, friends and his dog, Bridget.

His family includes his very significant other, Marcene Soukup; daughter, Viki Grau (Jovo Pilipovic); granddaughter, Alyssa "Cricket" Grau; Marcene's sons, Jody Kirk and Jamie Kirk (Stacy); Victor's sister, Alberta Kight; and many other family members and friends.
