Sorry to hear about the passing of Victor ... I can recall giving him baths in Mt. Home ID. How time flies and it was nice that all of you got together before Victor passed. Sorry we were unable to talk to him as he was asleep each time. Our deepest sympathy to all of you and our love and prayers.

I remember meeting you, Victor, quite by chance downtown one evening when KBSU was fresh on the air. I had no idea that it would last your lifetime from your 1st show. I cherish the last time I was with you in the control room so many years ago.

Victor was the best guy any one could have ever known. He helped me though some of the hardest parts of my life with his great personality and loveing heart. I hope that he has found peace.
See you when I get there Victor. Love you.

So many Saturdays, so many wonderful gifts of music and thoughtful commentary from Victor. Private Idaho was more than just a broadcast...tuning in on a Saturday was like chatting with an old friend every week for the last 25 years or so. I will miss Victor..he was an extraordinary pleasure.
Sincerely,
Chris

I have listened to Victor's radio show for many years from Challis and was saddened to hear of his illness, then death. His great taste in music and sense of humor will be missed by a small but loyal audience here in Challis.
My condolences go to his family and co-workers at KBSU.

Last Saturday when I heard Victor's friend talk of his passing, my breathe stopped and tears flowed. The Treasure Valley will never be the same without Victor, he made Saturday's soooo special, because I entered the following week feeling like I had "had" a week-end. I always found myself annoyed if I had to miss his program. To you, his family, please know his life mattered and he made ours so much richer through his creative talent and personality. His selections opened our hearts and minds to new artists,new music styles;all the time opening our own souls to healing or to our own happy memories. He truly had a spiritual gift and freely shared it with us through that peaceful voice over the airwaves -- he will be soooooooo very missed. Thank you Victor for making our lives easier and richer - enjoy your walk closer to the Light!
