He and his partner John Kopka started Toledo Quality Meats on Cherry Street. Vic went on to work for House of Meats until his passing.

Vic's memory will be carried on by his wife, Nancy McClintic Lewton blessed by a union that lasted 33 years which bestowed the gift of his son, Travis. Siblings, Cindy (David) Nissen, Kip (Gina), Laurie (Mark) Rigg and a host of nephews and nieces.

Vic enjoyed working on his lawn, watching the Tigers, Lions and Redwings with his best friend, Bernard Mast. With the help of Travis and his friends, Vic and Bernie, would put on a fireworks display that was the envy of the neighborhood and could be enjoyed as far away as Rossford, Ohio. Vic was always with his faithful dog Rocky, which was one of the many dogs he saved from the streets of Toledo.

Vic was a man of few words with a compassionate heart.

Vic's family would like to thank the many doctors and nurses who cared for him at Toledo Hospital.
