Vic will be greatly missed as a special person and co-worker. I'm so glad he came to work with us at the college and we got to know him. He was such a wonderful kind person. I am home with the flu so I am not able to attend the service. Jane please know that Tom's and my prayers are with you and your family at this time.

I am so very sorry to hear about Vic. He was a kind and gentle man. And helped me through some awful time when my daughter passed away. He helped me with my purchasing certification and that is when I really got to know him. Victor I know that you are in good hands. Kiss my daughter, my two sisters, my mom and dad. For I know that you know that I miss them very much! I have missed your sweet face and your gentle way. I know that now you can rest and do me a favor when you see my loved ones would you please have a big party and give them such a big hug and lots of kisses. They are lots of fun! Please tell my daughter for me that I am taking care of her daughter Mckenna and husband the best that her dad and I can.

God bless your family and friends who are sadden by your passing. Remember Vic is only a minute away.



Love to all of you and God bless all of you!

To the family a special note:



I am very sorry that I do not think that I will be able to come on Thursday because my Grand daughter has an eye doctor appointment. But my thoughts and prayers are with the family.



A co-worker and friend of Vic from

the Village of Streamwood.

Vic was one of the nicest people I have ever met. I had the pleasure of working with him for a short time. He had a wonderful sense of humor, the biggest heart and never had a bad word to say about anyone. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with Vic's family.
