Vic Felde was, in a word, beloved. His daughter Tawnee warmly recalls his widespread admiration, saying, “He was loved by so many, and I don’t think he ever fully realized the depth of it.”
A Vietnam War veteran, Vic served courageously as a medic, providing critical care under harrowing conditions. His life post-service was equally diverse; he worked variously as a prison guard, a waiter, and later, as the beloved owner of a local bar.
