Victor Vassil

Victor Vassil, a beloved husband, brother, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, passed away peacefully on July 12 in Roswell, GA surrounded by his loved ones. Born in Scranton, PA, Victor led a life marked by faith, dedication, love, and athleticism.

From a young age, Victor displayed exceptional talent in sports. He attended the University of Scranton, where he played football quarterback, basketball point guard, and baseball pitcher. During the summers, he was a lifeguard and showcased his skills as a boxer. His passion for sports continued throughout his life, later finding joy in playing tennis and golf.

While in high school, Victor met the love of his life, Jerry Vassil. Their enduring love story began as high school sweethearts and blossomed into a beautiful marriage. Together, they raised six wonderful children. In 1974, Victor moved his family to Atlanta, where they embraced their new community, made many long-lasting friendships, and built a life filled with love. Victor’s family grew with the addition of eighteen grandchildren as well as six great-grandchildren with another on the way.

Victor was a successful “IBMer”, where he spent his entire career. Many colleagues were dear friends. His commitment to his work was matched only by his devotion to his faith. A devout Catholic, he attended mass daily, finding strength and solace in his spirituality.
