***************
From an early age, Victor was fascinated by how things worked. From classic antique cars to John Deere mowers, he developed an uncanny ability to take something apart, fix what needed to be fixed, then put it back together and have it run good (and oftentimes better...) as new. He used his gifts and passions to own and operate two service stations in the Charlotte area, before spending twenty-two years with Southern Bell, retiring as a garage supervisor.
He was always happy to share his time and expertise with a friend in need. If he wasn't on the porch giving advice to a neighbor, he was down in his garage, walking them through what he'd been fixin', or looking under their hoods to help them get back up and running.
However, the joy he got from helping to keep the world moving paled in comparison to the joy and love he had for his family. His favorite times were big family gatherings, where all his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were under one roof. He loved to share stories from his own life, give words of wisdom for living theirs and reminded them to always do what makes them happy.
Victor is survived by his wife of 63 years,
Margaret Broome Dermid
