Victor E. Noto Jr.

December 19, 1925 - December 31, 2020

Victor, age 95, passed away on Thursday, December 31, 2020. He was a lifelong resident of Independence, LA. Victor proudly served his country in the United States Navy. He was an extremely hard worker who always made sure his family was taken care of. Victor loved working in his garden and spent many years growing fruit trees, vegetables, and flowers. He was a member of the Independence American Legion and served as Chaplin. Victor approached every day with a positive attitude and made sure to repeat the phrase "it's a beautiful day" all day long. Everyone that knew Victor will remember his bright smile, but mostly his whistle. Everywhere he went, he whistled, and it will never be forgotten. Victor was a strong-willed man but had a kind heart. He was a remarkable husband, loving father, and wonderful Paw Paw who will be deeply missed. He is survived by his daughter, Lola Noto Scicluna (Charles); son, Paul Noto Sr.; sister, Lucy Bellevia (Uncle Big); brother, Sam Noto (Nancy); grandchildren, Joseph Noto (Bethany), Matthew Noto (Christina), Paul Noto Jr. (Daphnne), Laura Noto, Christopher Evans, Charlie Giroir (Alayna); 5 great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews. Victor is preceded in death by his wife, Virginia "Dean" Noto; sons, John Frank Noto, Vic Joe Noto; parents Laura and Vito Noto; and 9 siblings. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Victory for Vito on Facebook. A cremation was held and private family services will be held at a later date.
