He is survived by his four children\emdash Leisa Desmoulins (Ron), Lynne Holmberg (Mark), Maria Giffen (James), and, Jon Starchuk (Jenny Capes). He was a loving grandfather to his six grandchildren\emdash Max, Mose, and Lily Desmoulins; Kristian Holmberg; and, Sam and Emelia Giffen.

      Vic was born in 1937 in Smokey Lake, Alberta. His family moved to the Kitchener Waterloo area in 1952, where he remained until his death. An accomplished designer, Vic worked for Horton & Ball Architects until 1971, when he left to form his own design and project management firm, Vic Starchuk and Associates.
