Obituary of Albert Victoria

Albert J. Victoria, of Southbury, passed away peacefully in his home on January 16, 2021. Al grew up in Bridgeport and went on to serve in the Army before starting his career at Textron Lycoming. He had a passion for showing and raising quarter horses for a large portion of his life. For the past decade, he raised Dexter Cattle and chickens. If you knew Al, you probably heard about all his adventures and you probably knew how manicured his property was. Al appreciated all things outdoors. From hunting to fishing to target practice, he loved spending time with family and friends. He enjoyed going on hunting trips with his son Dan. He was predeceased by his beloved wife, Kathryn Keiser Victoria. She was the love of his life and partner of 47 years. He was also predeceased by his daughter, Chrissy and his mother, Annastasia Szawerda Victoria. He leaves behind his sons, Daniel Victoria, and wife, Jennifer, of Coaldale, CO and Jeffrey Victoria, of Naugatuck; his daughter, Tracey Graham, and husband, Glenn of Watertown. He will be missed tremendously by his grandchildren, Christina Graham, of Jupiter, FL, Jesse Graham, of Watertown, and Emma and Ava Victoria of Coaldale, CO. Al is also survived by his sister-in-law, Jayne Keiser, of Fairfield, and the rest of the Keiser family. Al was a complex man, but that is what everyone around him loved and appreciated. He was not afraid of hard work, in fact, he thrived on it. He always wanted the best, mediocre was never enough and that is how Al lived his life.
