I was so sad to hear of Vic's passing. I worked with him at AAA, and shared many laughs and lunches. He was always a positive, happy person and brought joy and laughter everyday. I left the company many years ago, but would pop in to say hi whenever I could. He will be missed!

The news of Vic's death touched me and our family in many ways. I hadn't seen Vic in over 40 years but he was such a good guy that no one can forget him. He was my brother-in-law at one point in his life (long, long time ago and we were blessed with his laughter, humor, good nature and positive attitude) As mentioned by my two boys, Matt & Mike, Vic was very instrumental as a baseball coach in their little league, (especially after my father died). He will be missed by all and obviously touched many, many people. My condolences to the family, but be assured that he will stay in our hearts and thoughts forever. Rest in peace, Vic ~ we will all miss you.

A loving man with a big heart, a gentleman, a mentor and an example to me and my brother for many years.
Vic was my uncle until I was 10 years old and coached many of my baseball teams. All of these teams won Championships and brought tremendous pride and key learnings to my life.
While he coached third base I would come to the plate and no matter what the circumstances he would yell to me, Matta Matta meat on the Table!!
Throughout my life I have never forgotten Vic and never will. I just wish we had more time together in the years to come.
Though I will miss him dearly I will always carry him with me in my heart.
Thank you Uncle Vic for having such an impact in my life and teaching all the best things that life has to give.
All my love,
Matt Condensa

Oh, I am soooo bummed out. My condolences to the family. Uncle Vic had a great positive influence in my life. He touched my life in so many ways AND I only spent time with him up until I was 10 years old. He gave me my first luggage set, he taught me how to talk Donald Duck, he taught me how to play ping pong, he taught me to have polite table manners and to be positive in any situation (even when he was in an car accident in the 70's when he owned a white convertable MG) He would still make us laugh. His presence would light up a room whenever he walk in and I know your light will shine on through anyone and all of the people that you have met or known. Thank you Uncle Vic for you kindness, humor, and good nature that is being passed down to my 5 kids. Even though when I talk Donald Duck and my cheeks start hurting it brings me a smile and it still makes me laugh. You will be in our prayers and you will be missed. With all my love.

I first met Vic at Club One in San Jose. We spent many hours riding side by side on stationary bikes. And in that time, developed a friendship. He will be missed ..... not only by me, but also those he touched at the gym.

As a fellow classmate from the Santa Clara Class of '66, I remember Vic and am saddened to hear of his passing. He was always a fun-loving guy who would always help to do anything that needed done. Sounds like he lived a full life, will be remembered by MANY, and made a difference. Best a Bronco can ask for.
