His wife Louise and two boys Edward and Donald, in the 1940 Census Vic was a proprietor of a Radio Station in Raton.

One of his favorite sayings was "We kill the bull by day and shoot the bull by nite."

W5AOH (America's Orneriest Ham) runs a servi-station when not ham-QSO'g.
Vic was a successful business man, here is his Radio Service vehicle and center.
