Vic and Nancy settled in Silverdale Wa. where they raised their family while running a small ranch in with Black Angus cattle and white Samoyed dogs, another one of Vic's great loves. Always on the go, he enjoyed hiking and mountain climbing. Vic retired from teaching in 1989. He continued with his hobby of raising cattle on the farm while waiting for Nancy's retirement. When Nancy retired in 1995 they moved to Sequim to truly retire, and travel together. Always busy, Vic was a Past National Director of the Oregon California trail Association.

Vic and Nancy loved traveling, both in the states and abroad. For several years Vic and Nancy spent the winter months in El Centro., Calif., which included sightseeing trips to the surrounding area and into Mexico. They made many friends and were loved by all.
Vic enjoyed a full and active life. He loved his wife, family and friends, he helped many people through teaching and being a friend people could rely on. He is greatly missed by all.
