Dear Harkenrider & Martinez families: Grieving for your, and our loss. Victor was a fine Christian Spanish gent; most of the time, in our conversations, he'd express the joy of his faith in the Lord. Sad for our loss, but blessed be the Lord for granting Victor to now be with Christ. (Victor was a long time volunteer at the Hanna-Creighton Head Start site, where I knew him). May the God of all comfort uphold and comfort you. (Phil. 1:6). Amen.

Grandpa Victor, you always made me smile. You were greatly loved by all at Head Start.

My prayers and sorrow are with your family at this very sad time. Victor was a great guy, I worked with him at G.E. and always seem to bump into him at one store or another. He always had a warm smile and friendly conversation. May God grant you much peace and strength through the future. Bill Bentley and family

Marisol and family, our deepest sympathies. Your Dad will be missed by many people. Everytime I saw him, he always had a smile and a great story. Memories from my childhood are filled with images of Victor and Enilda and always make me smile.

Marisol, our thoughts are with you and all your family. We enjoyed very much the talks we had with your father. He was bright in conversation, curious about the world, and very appreciative of all the people around him. He will be missed. Nancy and Phil Mack
