Not sure what to say?

I remember Victor R. as the nicest, kindest and funniest person I met at the National Academy of Sciences (BOSTID) when I first started in 1986 and to this day I will remember his smile and laughter. My prayers are with the family.

Vic was one of the loveliest people I've ever known. I will never forget his many kindnesses to me over the years at the Bulletin. I am so glad I got a chance to see him again here in Washington. He really was a very special person. My deepest sympathies to you Marti and your family for this tremendous loss.

Victor was a wonderful father and husband, and cared deeply for his family. He was also a great colleague, mentor, and friend. Vic will be lovingly remembered by a great many people. After working with him for over 40 years, my life has been especially influenced by his friendship and wise counsel. His accomplishments were many, but always achieved with grace and good humor. Deepest sympathy to Marti, Kolya, Peter, Sasha and the entire Rabinowitch family. With love, John Hurley and Linda...

I was saddened to hear of Vic's death. It was always lovely to see him at Pete and Olivia's and see him relish his role as Deshka. I wish I had spent more time with him. I know Vic's legacy of kindness, integrity, intelligence, and good humor will live on in his sons and grandchildren. My love and condolences to Marti and all the family on his passing.

My deepest sympathy to the family of Victor Rabinowitch. May you be comforted in knowing that our Heavenly Father feels your pain. He will give you strength and courage to cope with your grief. Psalm 94:17-19

I am so very sorry for your loss. May the God of all comfort, comfort and sustain you during this difficult time.

We will remember Victor as our fabulous Vermont landlord, who allowed us to spend 20 years of Autumns and Winters at his beautiful family farmhouse. And when we left to build our own little paradise in Vermont, our friendship continued as we shared many lovely summer dinners with Victor and Marti. A wonderful man; we will miss him greatly.
