Vic, Dad, Pop, PopPop was a loving husband to Dot for 63 years until her death
March 12, 2015. He was truly the epitome of a good husband, father, grandfather
and great-grandfather. He was born in Natchez, Mississippi, but lived in
Ferriday and Union City, Tennessee during his youth. He attended LSU for two
years, then attended and graduated from Southwestern Louisiana Institute (SLI)
in Lafayette. It was there he met his wife, Dot. He then joined the U.S. Army
and was sent to Camp Rucker in Alabama, where he and Dot were married.
Vic and Dot lived in Lafayette with their four children, then moved to Houma in
1967. He worked in the oil field and was employed by Gemoco for 29 years. He
held the positions of sales, vice-president and president of the company. His
job gave him the opportunity to travel all over the world.
His love of fishing and hunting was evident. He spent many hours in deer stands
and in his boat. He was also an avid bridge player.
He will be remembered as a kind soul, a true gentleman, a loving father,
grandfather, a dedicated husband, an honest man, an excellent role model and a
great joke teller. He created many great memories through which his spirit will
live on.
The family would like to thank the Skilled Nursing unit at TGMC for the care
and compassion given in his last days. Thanks also go to the staff at The
Homestead.
Chauvin Funeral Home in Houma is in charge of arrangements.
