They were married 58 years before his beloved Phyllis died in 2009. Vic started farming right out of high school. He always had an innate curiosity about the world around him. He began deep well irrigation in 1968 on a portion of the farm. He also ran a cow-calf operation for many years and was involved with the development and manufacture of the FRANZ shovel, designed for deep seeding dry land winter wheat. After turning the farm over to their sons, Vic and Phyl retired to Moses Lake in 1985. Vic loved flying. He owned many different airplanes over the years and was known as a skilled pilot, especially after having a propeller hub fail, tearing the motor from the plane, but still being able to land unscathed. Vic and Phyl always had a special place in their hearts for all the good friends they made being involved with International Flying Farmers as well as the Washington Chapter of IFF. They took many trips all across the US and Canada, and to Mexico and Central America. Vic was a member of Menno Mennonite Church, International Flying Farmers, serving as President 1984-85, The Lind Grange Supply Board of Directors, Washington Association of Wheat Growers, and Farm Bureau.
