Vic was my hero. I was senior radio technician at Repstat (Casey, Antarctica) in 1968, thus I had trained with Vic in Melbourne before departure. On return, I became VK7VK to emulate his call sign in Tasmania and gladly surrended it when Vic came here to live. We met briefly and eagerly recounted old times. Vale Vic.

It is with much sadness to hear the passing of Vic. I worked with Vic on the Shey Gap extension project when at TBC where he was Technical manger. This was in the mid seventies and subsequently at the Perth office. This period of Vic’s career seems to to have been missed in the obituary above. Vic was great to work for and with. Vic was truly a pioneer in the establishment of Television in Western Australia.

I had the pleasure of Vic’s company for lunch at my home in Tasmania a little after the TVT6 reunion in 2010. He was, as usual very able to tell a “good yarn”.

My condolances and deepest sympathy to Vic’s family.
I nicer more genuine guy you could ever wish to meet, having worked with Vic in the 70’s we became aquanted through our work and commitment to the TV industry.
I was truly saddened to here this news today and am really disappointed that I cannot attend Vic’s funeral to pay my last respects, but am now semi retired having recently moved to New Zealand.
Thank you for the posting Ken, as otherwise many of us would not have heard of Vic’s passing.
