Miss you dad
Your words of wisdom and kindness will be greatly missed

Lighting a candle for you today, dad. May God bless you.

I only met Victor a couple of times. I am sure grateful that his son Michael Banks came into my sister Andrea K Banks' life. My condolences to your family.

I am so grateful that I was able to visit Victor, meet Lily, in Oak Park two summers ago. My sister Andrea Banks, and my nieces Eliana and Sarah Banks were with me. Victor had great stories to tell as Andrea interviewed and filmed her father-in-law. Such a gentle kind man. My condolences to the family, Victor will be missed.

I am so glad that I was able to meet Mr. Banks! His warmth and humor were obvious features of his personality, and his example will be a guiding light to your family!

I am ver sorry for the pain you must be experiencing during this difficult time. May you draw comfort and strength each day through prayer and God's promises.
Jeremiah 29:11-13

I have fond memories of riding the "L" with your Dad on his way back from swimming downtown. I also remember walking with your Mom along Roosevelt, seemed like she was always shopping for fresh fruits and vegetables for her family, and she was always on foot. They both were a great inspiration and we enjoyed growing up with your family on the Island. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
The O'Brien Family

We are so saddened to hear of your loss and offer our deepest condolences to the family. May you draw close to God during this time and he will draw close to you.
