Victor Gilels

Lisa and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Victor was one of those special people that make a difference in our lives. May he rest in peace. May you and your family have solace in knowing that he is fondly remembered by those who were fortunate enough to know him.

Since childhood, I remember hearing stories about how much fun my Dad and Victor had growing up together. Later in life, when I would go to get my glasses from Victor, I would hear the stories first hand, laughing until I cried.
No so long ago, at Dottie Nadler's 90th birthday party, Victor and my dad had another chance to stir up their memories, and again I marveled at how after 85 years of friendship one would finish the others sentence.
From my family to your family; please accept...

Dear Lionel, I am sorry to hear of the loss of your brother. My condolences to you and your family.

Dear Harlene and Family: My heartfelt
sympathy to all of you. Faye Wolkoff

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

My deepest sympathy to you and your family Debbie at this difficult time. He was a wonderful person.

Dear Lisa, so very sorry to hear of the loss of your dad. My thoughts are with you.

Harlene and family, So sorry to hear about Victor. I have great memories of you and Victor at our special family occasions. I will always remember Victor getting me a Super Bowl Ticket when I was 16 years old. His personality and passion made the everyday tasks, like getting a pair of glasses, extra special. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I was employed by Victor, Elliott and Lionel 44 years ago. He was a great man and also a great optician. I will remember him fondly not only as a fellow optician but as a true friend.
