Not sure what to say?

I also attended Immaculate Conception school with Victor. He was a gift from God, an example of how we should all treat and respect our neighbors. He never said a negative comment about anyone. I wish I would have stayed in contact with him, I could have used his advice and strength during some troubling times in my life.

I knew Victor from Immaculate Concepcion School in Chicago's Brighton Park as we both were students there in the mid-1960's. Over the years we kept in touch and I just recently was informed of his death. I am saddened and shocked! Victor was a very kind hearted person who I always enjoyed talking too. I will miss him!

My Victor, My Victor. We both knew how much we meant to each other. You were my coworker, my singing buddy, my brother in Christ, my counselor, and good friend. Words can not even began to express how much I miss you. My heart aches everyday when I dont see you at work. There were so many things that we talked about. Family, religion, politics, television, music, food, culture, we discussed these and many more. Religion and family were most important to us both. I am so blessed to have...

My heart aches and my life will never be the same without my Vic. To the family, Victor loved each and everyone of you unconditionally and expressed that to me often, i am truly truly sorry for your loss. My heart aches for you as well. Victor brought the happy with him each time he entered a room. I was Victor's work wife for many years and he really proved to be such a genuine gentleman, friend and co-worker time and time again. My well-being was important to him and he made that very...

Victor was a wonderful and caring person. He was a pleasure to work with and I was shocked to hear of his passing. I guess God wanted Victor with him a bit sooner. Heaven has another angel.

Victor and I worked in different units. However, about ten years ago, my unit was temporarily moved to his floor and my work station was placed next to his for several months. During that short time it became clear that Victor was a very kind and generous man. On the day before my unit returned to its permanent location Victor gave me a going away present of sparkling apple juice and a card. Like many at the Board I will miss Victor. I wish his family and friends all possible comfort...

Victor was one of nicest, caring and thoughtful people that I knew. He had such a positive attitude and loving spirit. Victor was the heartbeat of the Medicare section at his job. This was his most favorite time of the year. Going into the holidays really got Victor going. I don't know how we'll get through this years festivities without him. It will never be the same going forward. I'd like to extend my condolences to his family and thank you for sharing such a beautiful soul with us. We...
