My deepest sympathy to Mary, his daughters and extended family. Victor was a wonderful friend and colleague, a caring teacher, and fine role model for his students. Like others, I treasure the legacy he left my family of beautiful photos of me and my children. What a gift! Thank you Victor!

Mr. Resendez was a great teacher, and a gentle-man. I had the pleasure of learning from him at Holy Cross, and will always be grateful for the fine example he gave to me, and other young men, as we grew up to take our place in the world. Thank you for all the good that you did while you were here on Earth. I am certain God will be most happy to receive your soul. Rest in peace, Mr. Resendez!

Victor will be love and missed greatly. I'm going to miss him. When I think of Victor I think of all the pictures he took. He is family to us. I will miss his visits and seeing him at our family reunions. I don't know of a more smarter person. He loved his family and friends so much. He always had so much to share about his grandchildren.

From the moment Dido and I met Victor he was an instant friend. At our first meeting, we felt compelled to invite him to our wedding. To our delight, he showed up and took numerous pictures of the rehearsal dinner and wedding to supplement our photographers photos. We had to make a special album which is now a treasure trove. From that moment on he was family to us. He had a quiet way about him, but was also quite the engaging conversationalist. Our son Nate recalled how he loved talking to Victor about Physics and the mysteries of the universe! You will be deeply missed. Lisa, Dido, Nate and Meredith

Victor was a true friend. Once you became a friend of Victor's, he made time to keep in touch.
Many trips from SA to Houston over the last 23 years, since we moved away, to come see me and Sarah.
We loved everyone of those visits.
We will miss him, but he is "feeling good again" in Heaven, and that makes me happy!!
