Victor Joris

Even after 11 years of Victor´s passing, he is thought of with sweet memories. I miss his fashion guidance and his kind and gentle smile when I would see him at the dog shows. Close to my heart- miss you, Victor!

A great man, a great friend and mentor, a great loss. Give Janie and Jimmie a hug for me, Victor.

Victor and I, along with others, walked to our Broadmoor homes from the trolley stop, on our way from school. He was so charming, personable, and creative then, and clearly became increasingly moreso in his life and noteworthy accomplishments. God rest his soul, and may light perpetual shine upon him.

Dawn and Family, we are so sorry for your loss, your Uncle was certainly accomplished, wish we could have known him. You are in our prayers, Mike & Judy Dillingham

I'll be keeping you all in my prayers during this difficult time.
Much love,
Mim Partin

The Final Salute

“Brothers in Arms”, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged “Hand Salutes” as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.

This “Hand Salute” is the last that we shall render to Victor Van Joris our “Brother-in-Arms”. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Victor. And to Victor it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the devoted...

I was simply shocked and saddened when I read in this morning's Times the notice of Victor's passing. I think of all of you often and especially of the memory of Mother telling me that Victor made my doll's clothing when I was small. Our prayers are with you at this time. Carolyn Endel Strayhan

Victor was a dear and treasured friend who will forever live in my heart. His talent was monumental. He was so creative, so caring. No matter what he did, whether it was designing fashion, breeding Shih Tzu or judging dogs, he did it with great care to detail. And he was entirely too modest, A true Southern Gentleman and the most caring and thoughtful friend. I cannot imagine a world without Victor. It's unthinkable and much, much emptier.
