Back when Vic worked at United Airlines, he went to the East Coast and brought me back 2 live Maine lobsters. When delivering them to me, he explained that the transportation box, which he carried onboard, leaked into the overhead compartment. He said it started dripping from above and had to get cleaned up. I appreciated the huge effort Victo made. I never asked for them, but he bought them for me out of the goodness of his great big heart. I thanked him, but mentioned that he really didn’t have to go through such trouble “Vic, they sell live Maine Lobsters here.” “Really? They do?” ??

My daddy just died too. Maybe yours will help my dad find his way in heaven. My dad always asked about you guys because he knew how much you all meant to us. I’ll see them in heaven before you do and I will tell them how good you 3 have been during this hard time. How many angels can we have in heaven? Love, Katie

A little history I failed to share Saturday. If you were there, you saw Victor’s boat in the slideshow. It was a 14' Gregor aluminum. It looks beautiful in the pictures, but it started out a bit rough. Purchased from Derek Crenshaw, the boat was used for duck hunting and was painted entirely camp green. Countless hours brought this boat back to life, at a purchase price of $250. The motor Vic bought from my brother for $400, an 18hp Evinrude. The trailer was new from Boat and Moyor Mart. $600. He was so proud to be a boat owner, he trailered it home and backed it into the garage. I’m standing in the garage with him and Bic calls out, “Mom! Mom! Look what I got!” Mrs. Wong walks down the garage stairs, ducks down, looks, squints, and says in a loud voice, “YOU MADE A BIG MISTAKE!” and walks back upstairs. Whoops! Awkward…

Dear Doug, Thanks so much for sharing your fishing memory of Vic. We really appreciate it and will always think of Victor as a fishing king, too.

Although it has been 30+ years since our time together at Cameron House, Victor could always make me laugh and put a smile on my face. He was kind and compassionate, qualities I know carried through to his adult years and loving family. My condolences to the Wong Family.

i met Victor through my brother. We became friends due to our passion for fishing. i fished from my boat and Victor was the “da beach king”. When the bite was on he would text me pictures of his most recent catch and i would send back pictures of my most recent catch. One year the beach bite on and i was having boat issues so Vic said he would take me fishing from the beach. I met him at the parking lot and Vic had the bait all ready for me in a container, a rod all rigged up, and a backpack to put my catch in. So he catches the first two stripers – he offers to let me reel in the fish but i told him i wanted to catch my own. I finally hook a nice one and he was there shouting encouragement. When the fish was close he was telling how to use the waves to help land the fish. The fish was landed and high fives were in order. Victor caught the last fish so we walked back to our cars. We put away everything and the he broke out a nice cold refreshment. I said he should start “Vic’s Guide Service”. I will miss those texts and every time i drive down the Great Highway to my boat and i see a surf fisherman i will think of Victor “da beach king”. My deepest sympathies to the family. Doug Kyono

What I remember most about Victor is that he was upbeat and loyal. Before “Hakuna Matata” there was Victor! He transferred to Lowell High School from an all boys school. I remember him making jokes that he was knew it was time to leave the all boys schools when his group of friends would stare longingly at the 70 year old female cafeteria worker. Sure enough..when Victor hit our co-ed school, he was a hit with the ladies. I was an awkward teenager..I didn’t have cool lines like Victor “so ladies..who likes to fish?” He was among the first of us to have a girlfriend and it says a lot about him that this ex-girlfriend (thirty years later) still has wonderful things to say about him. Victor is/was/always will be a loyal person. Loyalty is an overlooked characteristic. I don’t think it gets the recognition it deserves. Among friends, all you want to know is if that person “has your back?” Will they be there for you in your time of need? Victor was always there. He always “had your back” and he never broke the “guy rule” (but that’s a different story for a different place). — Rest In Peace Victor —

In Memory of VICTOR WONG Our friend and fishing buddy Victor left this world much sooner than he should have. For those who knew him a light went out, but we will always remember his easy going smile, great sense of humor and warmth he brought to share wherever he went. Thank you for sharing your fishing adventures (especially our fun trips together aboard Captain John out of Princeton Harbor) and stories with us. Victor you will surely be missed but never forgotten. May the ?FISH GODS? look upon you forever with many tight lines and singing drags. Our condolences to the family. Willy & Connie Leung

Through Jr. High and High School, Victor had a perpetual grin on his face that always cheered me up. His humor has always blessed me, as was his incredible gift of being present with people. Though he will be missed here, I look forward to seeing him again with our Heavenly Father. Prayers of comfort and peace to his family. -Ken Fong
