Vic was born November 19, 1944 in Rollingstone to Watson and Mildred (Biltgen) Vaughn. He grew up in Rollingstone and graduated from Holy Trinity Catholic School in 1962. He met Benita "Bunny" Nordsving in December of 1964. They fell in love and married six months later on May 22, 1965. He loved his Bunny.

He was very proud of his 5 grandchildren and loved them very much.

Vic was known for doing everything to the best of his ability; he worked hard, he lived and loved to the fullest, and was a true man of faith.
