Victor was born on August 16, 1929 in Norwalk, CT to Arnold and Esther Hallberg.

During the 1970s, he led the company through difficult times and found work overseas in Saudi Arabia. Victor was a respected leader in the industry, receiving many awards for his accomplishments. Aside from his career, Victor enjoyed golfing, hunting, fishing, swimming, playing the trombone, and spending time with his family and friends.
