I had the good fortune to share an era with Vic as a fellow student at Mt. Carmel H.S. and DePaul law school. Vic was an exceptional person whose generosity did so very much that was of great benefit for so many persons.

Dear Char & Family-
My mother, Catherine, recently informed me of Victor's passing. We extend our heartfelt sympathies and prayers to you and the entire Cacciatore family. Vic was a great friend to my dad Joe - who passed away 4 years ago. I am glad that they will be reunited to continue their jovial friendship and perhaps plan a few more business adventures for the police museum and the patrolmen's association. I am very proud to have known and worked with Vic over the years. God bless you all.

My dearest Char, Vic, Joe, Pete, Cindy, Mary Beth, Cloria, Chris, Sue, Phil & Danny.

Our deepest sympathy to you all on the loss of this incredible man who taught us all, in his own self-defining way and style, how to run the race.
A few years ago, Vic & I agreed over dinner that that life always comes full circle. I tortured this poor man when I was a child and he mentored me and served as an outstanding role model to me when I became an adult.
I can't say enought nice things about your dad and I will always cherish his memory. It was a privelege to know this one of a kind gentleman.
Christina & I will be out of town and unable to join you but please know that your entire family, especially your dad, remain in our thoughts and prayers. God bless Vic Cacciatore and the entire Cacciatore family.
