Victor Pall

Victor Pall, 78, of Aurora, passed away Wednesday, June 18, 2014 surrounded by his family in Sandwich, Illinois. He was born July 13, 1935 in Aurora, Illinois, the youngest child of Leon and Mary Pall. He was a lifelong resident of Aurora. Victor grew up in the Pigeon Hill neighborhood with his lifelong friend, Frank “Arch” Ardelean, and was proud of his Romanian heritage. He graduated from Marmion Academy before serving his country in the United States Army, where he cherished his time in Hawaii. After his service, Victor was employed at Austin Western before opening Fox Valley Landscaping in 1969. In more than thirty years as a landscaper, Victor made the Fox Valley area a greener and more beautiful place while employing many students. He often referred to the best years as the “glory days”. An avid sports fan, Victor was a long time and generous Chicago Blackhawks season ticket holder. He spent many a weekend taking his children to high school sporting events, where they found their own love for sports. He coached boys basketball in the Catholic Youth Association and was a girls basketball coach in the inaugural season of the sport at Holy Angels grade school. Victor enjoyed weekend getaways to Wisconsin and having a drink or two in local gin mills. He was quick with a joke, witty and rarely at a loss for words. While he has left this life, his memory is deeply rooted in those he loved. He joins his parents and his brother Leon in God’s Kingdom. Survivors include his four sons: Thomas, Michael (Laura), Chris (Christy) and Jason (Jessica) all of Aurora; two stepchildren, Stephanie (J.J.) Ewing of Innis, LA and Keith (Cindy) Buchardt of Aurora; eight grandchildren and seven step-grandchildren; and his sister, Viola (John) Buga of Florida. Funeral services will be held Monday, June 23, 2014 from THE DALEIDEN MORTUARY at 9:30 AM to St. Michael Church at 10:00 AM. Fr. Frederick Peterson, O.S.B. will officiate with interment in St. Michael Cemetery.
