Vic had many professions throughout his life, and one of his most gratifying accomplishments was his barbershop, VIP Styles, located in downtown Pittsburgh. VIP Styles opened July 1, 2004, and has been a staple for the Black community ever since. His heart always led him to give back by offering free haircuts and hosting book bag drives for those in need. His charitable contributions, business savvy, and kind heart led him to receive the Men of Excellence Award in 2018.
He will be remembered for all the kindness and compassion he shared with his friends, family, and the community. He truly loved each of them- and if you knew him, you knew it. Vic will be forever missed.
