Victor was for the last 15 years spiritual advisor to the Dayton Catholic Worker Movement house of hospitality for homeless mentally ill people in recovery from addictions. I was Victor's A.A. sponsor. Yet, I do not know if I would be sober today had it not been for Victor. We were the best of friends.

Brother Victor Forlani.
A Man dedicated to the Religious Life and respected for his honesty, loving and always caring ways. Having known Victor for most of his life, I can attest to all these traits. What a wonderful Individual. I will never forget him. He was always willing to help in any way he could and guided my six grandchildren thru their education at UD. He will be missed, not only by My Wife and I, but by many Family Members ,Relatives, and a host of Friends and Educators at the University of Dayton.

God Bless You and Keep you in his Loving Hands. We Love You Brother Vic. Rest in Peace after rewarding Life.
