Victor and Alice Nightingale were married February 17, 1961 and spent the next 60+ years together.
Over his working career Victor acquired many talents. Victor started his work career as a teenager in logging camps, then moved to building telegraph lines from The Pas to Churchill, MB. He drove freight trucks for a multitude of companies. Once he landed in Flin Flon MB he worked as a hard rock miner and progressed to a journeyman welder.

Victor loved to hunt and fish, play ball and travel. He met many people and had many great adventures throughout his life.
