So sorry to hear about your wife and Mother. I worked with Victor at NCR and Sandra at San Antonio State School in human resources. I met Sylvia once and didn't really get to know her, but I'm sure she was a great lady like the rest of her family. I remember Victor speaking of how they liked to dance. Victor and I were plant exchange buddies. God Bless your family.
