Vic was one of the finest teachers that I worked with over many years. He gave his students the valuable gifts of self-confidence, reliability, trustworthiness and responsibility. He taught them skills and gave them the confidence to use them. His trust in them taught them to trust themselves as well. These are qualities teachers often want to impart, but are not always able to . Vic was a master

I am shocked and sad to see this. I had known Victor since elementary school and ran into him often through life. RIP Victor, my old friend.

My condolences to Victor's wife, Melissa, and his family. Victor and I went to Kepner and Lincoln. Since our mother were friends, I would hear about the family until my mom died. Then i moved back to Colorado and started teaching at Kennedy High School. Victor and I would visit when Henry and JFK got together. I am so sorry.

I remember him for his tireless work in our then-STATE-OF-THE-ART auditorium! He helped so many beautiful performances and meetings we were so proud of! May he continue to do good on the other side. His talents are still needed.

This James Sanchez, I would like to say that Mr. Verdeal was a great teacher and so easy to talk to. What he was able to teach me in jewelry class at North High I will never forget. It was nice knowing him as a teacher I only wish I could have kept in touch after high school to get to know him as a friend. God bless Mr Verdeal. You really made a difference innmy life. Thank you! My condolences to the family.
