He set up his traveling roller rink all over south Texas from Houston to Laredo and everywhere in between. It was quite the popular hangout and everyone loved when the Henneke Roller Rink came into town. He made many dear friends along his travels. After closing the roller rink in 1993, he worked for Refugio County for 12 years. Victor, who always liked to be busy, also enjoyed refinishing and refurbishing hard wood floors.Victor always looked forward to Christmas because he loved to dress up in his Santa suit and bring Christmas cheer to many young and old. However, nothing made him happier than collecting his aluminum cans and playing with his "treasures". He also enjoyed playing a good game of dominoes. We will always remember Victor with a big smile on his face and a beer in his hand.The pallbrearers will be his grandsons, Timothy Repka, Jr. and Joseph Henneke; and his nephews Steve and Bruce Seidel, Glen and David Henneke; and great grandsons Bryant and Lane Atwood.Visitation will be on Thursday, November 14 from 6-8pm at Moore's Funeral Home at 402 S.
