Read MoreHe was a family friend for many years. Despite being treated with prejudice, I never knew him to hold a grudge against any person or group. He was a good person and was always willing to help anyone in need, even when life treated him unfairly. I didn´t know him as well as my brother did but I knew what kind of person he was and what he did for others.

Victor was a friend of mine, especially during high school. I hadn´t seen him for decades when we saw each other near the U. He recognized me, and I was grateful for that. He was a good guy (the highest praise I give any). At a time when races didn´t mix often he allowed me to be his friend. I´ll cherish my memories of him forever. I´m his age. I´m white.

Victor was a friend of mine in high school and the friendship lasted for a long time, even though we saw each other infrequently. I last saw him near the University Of Utah many years before he passed away He was a good guy and that´s the highest honor I pay any man. I miss him, just knowing he´s gone.

We had many great discussions about politics, civil rights, war and peace. He always had a twinkle in his eye and seemed wise beyond his years even as a younger man. His comments and stories always made me think and brought meaning and...
