Victor and I shared several classes together. He was always such a gentleman and so nice to everyone. He was smart than me, as he help me on occasion with homework. He and my brother wrestled together in or about the same weight class. They knew one another well. I only knew of his death several years later and wish I had known sooner. If anyone knows the full story or has an obituary, I would be pleased if you would share what you might know of his death. I do not know if he married or had children. If he did, it would be nice to speak to them and share memories.

Yes, I remember Victor as well, and did not know he had died in Vietnam. I also remember him as a very nice guy.

I remember Victor well, & I still think of him on occasions. We where on the wrestling & golf teams together. I used to give him a ride to & from golf practice @ Sims Park. He was a Great Guy, Always up beat & friendly to everyone. It`s a shame that he was called so early. He was never in the Armed Forces , He had Leukemia.

I also remember Victor and he was an friend. I first met him I believe at Horace Mann and then North. UInfortunately I enlisted in the military the Monday after graduation and didnt hear until 6 months or later that he had passed away from bone cancer. I remember him being call Mickey, and am I incorrect.

Vic and I were in Spanish classes together -- only he was good at it. I think Mrs. Jones favored him :). He had the ability to be cool with the kids and with the teachers also. That's quite a feat, actually. He was a nice guy and I would like to know more about his life.
