A gathering of family and friends will be held to honor Victor from 9-11 AM Saturday, October 3rd at Roberts Family Funeral Home, 555 Centennial Dr. SW, Forest Lake, Minnesota, with interment following at Sunset Memorial Park, Minneapolis.
Victor, I have nothing but great memories of you and your family growing up on Targee St. May you rest in peace my friend….
On behalf of the Forest Lake American Legion Post 225, we give thanks for Victor’s military service to our nation.
Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. Know that God is aware of the tears you are shedding. (Psalm 56:18) He will soon do what is said at Acts 24:15, which promises us of a resurrection of our loved ones. May that bring you hope. Take comfort in your good memories and allow your family and loving friends to help you through this difficult time.
Victor was a very special man. He was a good friend to my son, and was there for me when Doug died. RIP and prayers to the family, he will be greatly missed.
Amanda, Siri, and families;
My sincere condolences on the loss of your father. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
Amanda and Siri…My deepest sympathy. At last your father is at peace and in a better place with your mom. Linda Hackl
Had so much fun working with him as our tech on the tabline. Will be so sadly missed,
Victor you will forever be in our hearts!! Your laughter was so contagious you were the most genuine person we all knew at Guidant and your spirit was something else you made us laugh and yes you could make us cry but we all loved you and we could count on you to help us operators out now your at peace and again you all be very very missed We will truly miss you Lisa Ferry and Lori Bourque THE TAB LINE!!!
For many years Victor was not only our coworker he was our friend. He helped us out in so many ways whether it was a tech to fix our equipment or a shoulder to cry on when we needed someone to talk to or help us see or get past what seemed like a hopeless situation. One of those times I will never forget and will always remain in my heart ALWAYS. I was a single Mom and it was my son’s very 1st Xmas. All the money I had tried so hard to save to make it special was used up in a very expensive car repair. I was devastated. Victor listened to my troubles and did the nicest and most selfless thing anyone has ever done for me. He borrowed me some money and told me that all children deserve to have a special Xmas and that I could pay him back in time. My son doesn’t remember Victor although he met him a few times when he was young but knows the story and the kind of man he was. People come and go throughout our lives and although it’s been many years since we have seen our friend he will always remain in our hearts. We love you and will miss you!
It was a pleasure to have known Victor! He was a friend/co worker, at Guidant, now Boston Scientific. Obviously, I haven’t seen him since he left Guidant, years ago, as I’m sure many others have not either. I know he loved his family! My prayers go out to his entire family!
My heart goes out to you, Siri, Brian, Amanda, JJ and Cash, as well as all who loved him and will feel the loss of him here on earth. Heaven is a beautiful place and may he rest in peace with the love of his life. Our loss is heaven’s gain. He will always be with you all in memory and spirit. Prayers and hugs.
It has been many years since I last saw you, We had so many memories growing with visits at Pop’s house all the family’s getting together I do miss those times. Life is to short!! evident by your passing. I’m so sorry and I pray for you and your family.
I knew Victor from Guidant, he was always friendly to all. He will be missed by many. He will be remembered by many. A loss to the family and prayers are going out to them.
I knew, worked with and loved the guy. Always had a good story and laugh to share. A big loss to your family and to the people who knew him.
I love you papa, tell grandma i love her too. Please watch over me.
Daddy i love and miss you so much. You were always so caring and did so much for everyone. I will always remember how you and jj would go zombie hunting outside. Or the walks that you and jj went on holding hands and talking as i would follow behind you snaping pictures of the love you both had for each other. I will always remember how hard you would push us to do good in school. How you set us up to save an invest our money. Your smile your warm hugs. Your the best father and papa that anyone could ever ask for. I will remember how you loved taking jj on 4wheeler rides behind the house. How you tought me how to shoot a gun. How you made us breakfast in bed every weekend. Oh how i miss you so much. I will always love you. Rip
God Bless family members as you all go through this hard time with Victor’s passing. He was a funny guy at work CPI/Guidant. Loved to converse with others. Peace and Love sent your way.
My Prayers are with your Family at this time of loss.
I never had to guess about how Victor felt about something, he was always honest. I worked with him for many years at CPI, Guidant now Boston Scientific.
He was like by many.
I will miss him.
May your family be Blessed!
