To Lou Ann and the Burgio Families,

I just learned today of Victors' passing. Please accept my deepest sympathies. The Muscato's & Burgio's have a long famiglia history together. Vic & I had alot of great times and created many funny stories to be told, growing up as youngsters. It's unfortunate how time puts distance between famiglia and amicizia, and contact gets lost until its too late. For that, I am truely Sorry.
How privileged I am to have had a great childhood friend such as Victor.
Until we meet again my friend, keep em laughing.

LuAnn-

Joe and I were shocked to read of Victor's passing. It's been more than 25 years since we last saw the two of you.

Joe has his memories of Vic at Duty Free. My first thoughts when I read of Victor's passing were of him and his calculator.

Please know that you're in our thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry hear about Victor, he was a wonderful person, I can still hear him call out anytime he would see us "Cuz"
It was a priviledge to be "bitten" by such a great person. He is at peace with my loving "godparents"

The Burgio Family:
I was one of the lucky people who had an opportunity to know Victor. He had a special way of expressing himself, and was always a joy to listen to. How Victor would radiant life and activity as he would enter a room, and the stories he would tell always put a smile on our face. Victor was a friend that we meet thru his business, and we all feel greatful and blessed to have known him. Employees of McLean-Thomas will miss Victor and our prayers are offered, as peace is finally granted to Victor.

My thoughts & prayers are with all of you. Growing up with Victor, still remains one of my favorite childhood memory's.
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
All my love,
"Cousin" Lenore
