A great Monroe County Gentleman farmer goes on....Rest in peace old friend...
Very saddened to hear of Vic's passing. Our sympathy in your loss.
Donna, Kerry and Karen,
I am so sorry for your loss. Vic was one of the great one's and my time around him will always be cherished. He was so kind to my wife and three daughters and made a day of fishing or riding on a combine an event they will remember for the rest of their lives.
When Tom Brokaw wrote about the Greatest Generation, he most certainly had Vic in mind. Vic had so many wonderful qualities, but I consider his love of life to be among the most endearing. His smile was contagious and his laugh was large and real.
My next cocktail will be rum and we will toast Vic for being a fine gentleman and one of life's character's who makes a lasting impression on those he touched.
Please accept my condolences and I hope God is ready to let Vic drive the tractor.
Barbara, Kara, Elise, Rebecca and David Heimburger
Kerry and Karen please accept my sympathy with loss of your dad. I can remember when you moved down to the bottoms and became neighbors. May God Bless
Kerry--so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. He was always such a nice person to deal with when I worked at the elevator in Columbia. But reaching 94 is not something everyone gets to do. Now he can hunt and fish and farm with no worry of crop failure. Please share our Sympathy with the rest of your family.
Willie and Dorothy Rodenberg
My sincere condolences to High School Classmates Kerry and Karen.
