Sissy and I were so broken hearted to hear of Vic's loss. Sissy and I were out of the country when Vic passed away and did not find out until recently. We have nothing but wonderful memories of all the great times we had with Vic and Liz. Of course, I could not help but reflect with great joy for all the many fun rounds of golf I had with Vic, Benny, Walter and Fred. Vic's memory will always remain fondly with us. mortalA wonderful and all loving God has gained a truly precious new angel.
With our greatest sympathy,
Don and Sissy Cobb
