He was then transferred to the Queen Elizabeth's Hospital in Woolwich where he passed away, Fr. Tom Steven's a retired priest of St. Michael's was at his bedside.

Victor joined the Guild as a probationer with the Epiphany Chapter on 15th March 1962 at St. Augustine South Croydon where he was a Server. On 23rd April 1963 he was admitted as a full member at St. Michael's West Croydon. He was on the Chapter Committee during the years 1977 to 1980 and became a life member of the Guild during the period 1969/70. During most of his membership years Victor was a Server at St. Augustine South Croydon, and then at St. Michael's West Croydon where he regularly assisted at their Fridays' 1.15pm service. Victor was a faithful member of the Guild and regularly attended Chapter meetings up to March 2006. Due to failing health and poor eyesight and hearing however he gave up serving at St. Michael's early in 2006.
