His presence at all the events was always warmly welcomed, and he was a regular at the Monday Night Wine Club.  Victor cherished the company of friends including the Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Rosarians, and could often be found at Rita & Joe's Restaurant or Ercolano's Deli, both in Jersey City. He also enjoyed spending holidays with his friends and visits to family in Florida.
