Memorials may be made to the American Heart Association. Victor V. Simonetti was born on May 13, 1928 in St. Louis, Missouri to Vincenzia and Frank Simonetti and died on Wednesday, April 30, 2008 just before his 80th birthday. He and his beloved wife of 58 years, Norma Simonetti, lived in St. Louis until 2005 when they moved to Austin, Texas to be near their daughter's family. In Austin, Vic danced at his granddaughter's wedding and visited with many family and friends who attended in 2006, successfully renovated and sold yet another home by 2007, enjoyed visits by St. Louis family and friends, and lived the rest of his life doing exactly what he wanted to do. He was a self-made and successful entrepreneur, driven by the need to keep busy and active, who loved his family and friends, and charmed everyone who met him.
