Victor Pfeiffer, to me, showed kindness through his warm smile and quiet manner. As the father of one of my closest friend's, Phyllis, for 25 years, I truly admired the strength and example he always was for his children. His love will endure through the generations. God Bless you Victor!

Vic was a part of the legacy of early San Jose history which produced hearty, hardworking, and fun loving families. His generation was part of "the glue" that bound future generations together and form a bond of support and love for each other. We'll all miss you, Vic.

Vic Pfeiffer belonged to a group of men my father had known since high school. My dad was very proud to call Vic his friend & we all were lucky to have known him. I had known Vic all my life as a gentleman, kind of heart With a devote love of family & friends. Vic was full of stories about old Almaden, Bellarmine & the times he shared with Walt, Bob, Richard & himself. I always will treasure the suppers he came to with Mom & I not because he was a friend, but a gift from God.
