In Memory of:
 

Victor Thompson
Passed away peacefully
on Thursday, May 8th, 2008

I have been friends with Vic since we both worked at the Scarborough Van Plant.  From the time, I came to work on the third shift in the Oshawa car plant, Vic and I became close friends, playing euchre, sharing funny stories and jokes.

I'd like to share one of many golfing stories of when Vic, Brian, Ron Brown(who passed away last year) and myself went golfing...

On the 2nd hole at the Country Lane Golf Course, a 210 yard par 3 hole, with water on the left side, Vic tee'd off hitting his ball to the left side over the water.  The three of us new that Vic had hit his ball into the water, but Vic refused to believe us.

Thinking that he hit his ball onto the far side bank of the pond, Vic decided to look for his ball.  So, while Vic searched, we played our way on to the green.

While we played our next shot, all we could hear was cursing coming from Vic's direction.  There was Vic sitting in the mud, having slipped down the bank.  In disbelief, I looked over at Ron and Brian who were trying not to laugh.  Ron trying so hard was just shaking.

Finally, we couldn't hold it anymore.  We all burst out laughing because Vic was wearing White pants and looked like he had just pooped his pants. 

Even Vic had a good laugh, having to wear the dirty pants for next seven holes till he could change.

These memories of Vic will always be with me.

Vic farewell for now.

Have A tee time ready the next time I see you. your friend always Troy
