I went to St.Peter´s school in Geneva.
I was in the first 4th.-8th.grade class that went there. I sat across the isle from Victor. He was alway polite, kind, and friendly. I didn´t realize are birthdays were 1year and 1 day apart, as mine is April 3rd. 1948. I was held back a year in 2nd.grade because I had vision troubles. Once I got glasses I improved.
My dad died when I was 14 and a few of the kids came to the wake at Holy Cross. Victor was one of them

I knew the whole Erday family very well, and worked with Victor,Jimmy and Ron for years while in high school and after. Victor was always a straight forward kind of guy but with a good sense of humor. Go Pack!! 1967

We are on the road right now and won't arrive in time to say good bye to Victor. Our hearts are with Peggy and the Erday family in this time of sorrow. We will miss Victor's jokes and his tails of travel, and of course fishing. We are saddened by his passing.
Our deepest sympathies,
Jerry, Lory, Neal and Wendy Peterson

I will miss arguing with victor about the sins of being a packer fan. I will also miss my many talks about fishing. My deepest sympathies to Peggy and the Erday family.

Sleep well my friend. We will miss those long distance calls and emails from you. You battled with your health for as long as we have known you. It is now time to rest. I will remember our trip up north where we walked among the caribou and the bugs were so bad you dare not open your mouth. Thanks to our gps we didn't get lost. We remember good times with you and Peggy at our camp in Kenora and treasured you attendance at our kids wedding. You are now feasting at the buffet in heaven where you can eat all the roast chicken and watermelon you want and can fish to your hearts content. Love always, The Querel family

Very sorry to hear of Victor's passing. We met Victor on fishing trips to Costa Rica where we became friends and shared tales of fishing in Canada and elsewhere. He will be missed but remembered in the best ways.

I am very sorry to hear the news. Although we hardly saw each other, I remember Victor from our childhood.

Perfect picture. There's nobody quite like my big brother Goombah. Another crack in my broken heart. Love, little Goombah

So sorry to hear about Vic!

I was a classmate of his 4th. Through 8th. Grade, St. Peter's school.

I haven't seen him for many years, but remember him as quiet, sweet, and kind.

My sympathy to his wife and family.
