Victor Bernhard Hallberg, 95, passed away peacefully at home on Monday, November 4, 2024, with his beloved wife, Katy Hallberg, by his side.
Victor was born on August 16, 1929 in Norwalk, CT to Arnold and Esther Hallberg. He graduated from Yale University in 1951 with a degree in civil engineering and went on to lead an accomplished, fulfilled life. After college, Victor spent the next 40 years in the construction industry, starting out working for the former LG Defelice company as a draftsman and engineer. By the time he was 29, he was the youngest superintendent in the Niagara Falls hydroelectric project, a very large project that involved multiple contractors. Thereafter, Victor worked various other projects and became the General Superintendent and eventually President of the company. 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.
Victor is survived by his three children, Stephen Hallberg (Charlotte), Christopher Hallberg (Desiree), and Deborah Symanovich (Steve). Victor is predeceased by his first wife, Shirley Parnell Hallberg; his son, Jonathan Hallberg (Annie); his grandson, Michael Hallberg; his sister, Judy Wilson; and his brother, Arnold Hallberg. Victor also leaves behind four stepchildren, Colin Burr (Julie), Meghann Burr (Marcus), Matthew Burr (Rian), and Brendan Hartt; as well as nine grandchildren.
Victor will be remembered for his love of life, generosity, wit, infectious laugh, and the impact he had on so many lives. A memorial service will be held on Friday, November 8th, at 11 a.m. at Mount Carmel Congregational Church, 3284 Whitney Ave., Hamden, CT.
