Debbie, Alyssa and Dalton:
I am so sorry to hear about Victor and will keep all of you in my prayers. I know that your hearts are broken but he is now free of pain and seeing Justin again. Keep all of your memories in your heart and he will always be by your side. Victor was always one of the nicest guys on campus…he was always smiling and very helpful and will be missed greatly. If you need anything, just call.
Victor will always be remembered by both of us. He and David were friends and fishing buddies for more than 20 years. There are so many memories where Victor was there through the years. He was there as our children grew up and after our grandchildren came along. There’s been lots of long talks over beers in the shop and lots of funny stories as well. Even one when Victor allowed David to shoot him in the leg with a BB gun. Lol We always had fun wether it was fishing, or sitting at the kitchen table telling stories, or working on things around our house, which Victor was always willing to help with! He was our friend and a very good one! Rest in heaven, Victor. See you again one day.
It was with great sadness that I learned of Victor’s death. Please accept my sympathies & prayers.
Debbie, I am so sorry for your loss. May God keep his arms around you and your family.
