Vic was educated in the Kansas City, Missouri school district. After high school, he began his employment at the family business “Joe Looneys Liquor and Hardware Store” as a cashier where he worked for many years. Vic will be remembered as one who loved his family above all else. He was especially close to his mother and they took care of each other throughout his life.
