Finally made it back to Las Vegas from Decorah, Iowa after 26 years and was deeply saddened to discover my good friend from Circus Circus had died. He always encouraged me, from Midway worker to Engineer, I could always count on his smile and good advice. Will always remember Tuesday's "choir practices" and VD Day. My sincerest condolences Thelma (sorry, that is how I knew you). Maybe next trip I can look you up. God Bless.

Vic, you were such a great man who will be dearly missed. I remember when Jeni and I were in high school and thereafter always going to visit you at Circus Circus. And the many times I`ve raided your refrigerator when you weren`t home!!! You knew though!! And I also remember when I worked at Circus Circus. You made that place enjoyable. And I`ll never forget the times that you and Sunni watched Jordan when he was just a baby. Wow! Almost 10 yrs ago. I have never forgotten you nor will I ever forget you! We love and miss you very much! Jason, Melissa, Jordan, and Logan

To Vic, Thank you for your friendship. Thank you for getting me into the 501 apprenticeship program. At that time in my life I wasn`t sure which way I was going. I will say a prayer for you. Rest easy. Ride on.

Vic was a great teacher, friend, listener. I will miss him greatly. I will always remember the breakfast he would have ready each morning. The knowledge that he taught me will be treasured especially the teachings about riding my motorcycle. He teased me about how quiet my bike was over his harley but afterall told me to be carefully, that no one looks for us. God Bless sean

I am deeply saddened to hear of Vics` death. I really didn`t know Vic all that well. I use to say hi and talk a bit with him since we both road Harleys and parked our bikes at the same location at Circus Circus. I know he will now be with the Lord but will be missed here on earth.

I worked with Vic at Circus and will always remember that Vic was the easiest going person I`ve ever met and he always had a smile on his face. We`ll miss running into him at Sam`s Club and catching up. We`re sorry such a great man`s life was cut so short.

It always seems to be that one of the good guys gets taken before their time. I started my career on the midway and was a friend to Vic during those years. I was shocked when I heard about his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Todd Simons

Sunnie, after we spoke on Monday I wanted to say how my heart goes out to you and your family as I know what you are feeling. What a wondeful picture, you can tell what a gentle caring man he was, how fortunate you were to have him in your life. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Call me anytime if you just need to talk or when you are ready to try and see if we can do something to help those who ride be safer, and hopefully save a family from going through what you are now going through and what I have aready gone through. Blessings Sue

There are so many Vicisms that are a part of my life. I told my children all the things we say and do that came from Vic.I thank God for a friend like Victor Dotson. His loving example really stood out and made you take notice.Someday my grandchildren will utter a Vicism and I will smile a big smile.
