“Victor was born in Invercargill, … his father was a Draper, his Mother a music Teacher.
Victor’s musical talent emerged at an early age. Blessed with a perfect pitch he studied
piano, violin and voice. After gaining his letters in pian-performance Victor taught piano
while still at school.
After finishing at Southland Boys High School Victor studied languages and music at
the University of Otago. While at University, Victor began learning the organ which was
to become his favoured instrument. A scholarship allowed him to study music at the
Prestigious Kings College, Cambridge.
In 1961 Victor felt called to the ordained ministry, entering the Hall in 1963.
Upon retirement on 31st October 1988, Victor and Malvina moved to Havelock North
where he taught music and continued to play the organ for weddings and funerals.
Three years before his death Victor began to lose his sight. Yet he continued to play
music from memory. Victor was a compulsive reader and book collector. His interest in
the Masonic Lodge was very important to him.
Victor never ceased to honour his Presbyterian roots. His understanding of God was
infinitely larger than denominations and this lead to a strong ecumenical commitment.
Through Victor was an endearing man with interests atypical of most New Zealand men,
he related well to others.
Victor held an unshakeable faith in an all-loving God. The Church can only be grateful for
Victor’s humble yet effective service and commend him into God’s care.”
