“Aunt” Shirley & Family,
I am so sorry to hear about “Uncle” Vic. Growing up you were Uncle Vic and Aunt Shirley to me…part of my family. I will always remember him in his overalls and the cap on his head in the garage. He was a good and sweet man.
Thinking of you all.

To My Dear, Dear Friends of Many Years…Shirley, Debbie & Family, Randy & Family, Rick & Family, Karen & Family, and the Biddiscombes & Churchills:
What a shock I received! I knew Vic had health issues and tried to stay in touch with him and with Shirley.
For years it was a pleasure to be in the company of Vic and Shirley, they were indeed an amazing couple. You would never leave their house without having a belly full of goodies as Shirley wouldn’t have it otherwise. You had to sample her baking, which is “out of this world”, and they both enjoyed your company.
Vic used to service my vehicle when he had the garage, Seaview Service Station. He and Shirley were truly “A FANTASTIC COUPLE” and true friends for years.
God Bless All of You,
Sophie & Harvey Diamond

To Shirley and the Biddiscombe Family,
I was saddened to hear of Vic’s illness and passing. Vic and Shirley gave me a job in their gas bar for several years, a ‘few’ years ago. They both were very kind.. I often think of them when I drive by their home in Logy Bay. You are in my thoughts.

To The Biddiscome Family;
Our deepest condolences on Vic’s passing. For many years he looked after the maintenance and repairs on my father & mother’s; Bob & Joan Murray’s; vehicles. His dedication to his customers & his work were amazing. A true gentleman in every way.
I always remember him many times saying “Have no fear Vic is here & never never goes on the beer”. He had a great sense of humor.
May all your wonderful memories be a comfort at this time.
Rest in Peace Vic
