Victor: you and I met briefly, face to face for the first time 4 months ago when I was in Canada but I knew that with your Kelly and my Colin we formed, together, a marvelous extended family.
It gave me great pleasure to know you.

I didn't spend much time with Victor, but feel privileged for the time I did get.
Beneath that fun exterior there was a man that was thoughtful, intelligent wise. The world is a better place for having had him in it.

Victor, It is so hard to believe you are gone; it just seemed like you'd always be there telling your funny stories and jokes, including everyone in your revelry. You were a principled person who seemed unshakable in your convictions; always committed to doing the right thing. You were authentic: “the real deal”; “what you see is what you get” and we just don't have too many of those people around anymore. We will greatly miss you. You were an inspiration to Brian on your daily phone chats. You were a caring step father, father in law and grandpa to us.
Love, Brian Sharp, Donna Cruikshank and Georgia Sharp

I am sorry to hear of the passing of my Uncle Victor. Our homes have been far apart but we share the history of the Bonds. My sympathy is with all of his dear children. May God give him a perfect home in heaven this day.

Well Victor,
It is consoling to know that you are now in Perpetual Sunshine. You have been at least as much a Buddy to me as a Father In Law. Thank you for all the Great Times, and for the shelter of your Home & Your Love.
Happy Trails until we meet again.

Lee and Family, Sorry for your loss. Vic had a good long and interesting life. He was a character and a half a great Dad and mentor. I bet he is in Heaven showing God how to climb a rope. We will miss him walking by the house.Barry and Heidi Pyett

Victor was a joy to be around and could always fill the room with laughter from his jokes and witty remarks. On the serious side he was a source of encouragement and through his wisdom he gave some great advice. His vibrant energy will live on through the lives of those he touched.

I remember fondly go to see Gloria at her home in France. Her dad was always very welcoming and had such a good sense of humour. Thinking all of you.

Wishing my heartfelt condolences to Kelly, Gloria, Lee and all the other Bond family members. Victor,(aka 007) will be missed but never be forgotten you have left an huge imprint in our hearts and minds forever. Victor truly was an amazing man a real man a trooper who sacrificed his life as a bomber pilot so we could enjoy our freedom. He was real inspiration to me in so many ways. Victor had some cute saying like "Get With It", "Roger Doger" and so many more catchy little phrases. He was one of a kind and had such a great sense of humor a zest and attitude about life, to be happy! You were a fitness guru and whipped grandma into shape. He loved to dance, and he always had a joke for you, he loved to sing and play his guitar he used to sing "I'm Just An Old Chunk Of Coal But I'll Be A Diamond Some Day" and you are, your wearing your crown and shinning brightly up in heavens with the angels and with God. You loved country music, old time movies and the big band era, especially, "In The Mood"! Everyone loved you and all the people at the Dorchester used to say that you were a ray of sunshine, you brought happiness to everyone even strangers on the street. I have wonderful fond memories of you that will live on...may you rest in peace Victor and when we see you again we will rejoice to be together once again!

Victor Bond was truly a great person. He was an uncle of mine, married to my dad's sister Esther. I was truly saddened today to hear from his passing, but know that heaven has gained a Saint. My family always enjoyed visiting with Victor, he was such a fun loving person and such a truly GOOD human being..Always in our hearts...Carol, John, Jordan and Dustin and families...

I work for the City of Kelowna Parks Department and met Victor around 15 years ago, while he was walking through Waterfront Park. He always remember my name and only stopped for a very ‘quick chat'. It had been a number of years since I saw Victor, but this July I met him going through Knowles Park. I have a keen interest in WW2 aircraft and he relayed some fascinating stories about piloting his Douglas Boston bomber. One where he exceeded the dive speed and had a bit of a scare. I had not heard of the Douglas Boston, so I went home and researched it. I was hoping our paths would cross again, so I could question him some more. I will miss his stories and up beat attitude.
Cheers Victor, may you top the wind swept heights for one last time.

Kelly… so sorry about your Dad. And so glad I got to meet him last summer with you at the lake – no surprise to find such rascally charm in your lineage, my friend!
Lots of love to you, and condolences to your family.
