Condolences & Memories (12 entries)

• Victor and I were born in the same hospital 4 days apart. We met when we were about 6 in grade 1. We knew each other from then until we finished high school. I have many many memories from our childhood together and some of the mischief we got into. He was a smart kid and full of pep and vinegar and fun to be around. So sad to hear he's gone. - Posted by: Don Allen (Friend) on: Jul 29, 2024

• I just learned of Victor's passing. It saddens me a great deal. Victor, or as we called him "George Hamilton". Because he was always tanned from his vacations whether it be Vietnam, Thailand, Mexico. Victor and I started working together in Winnipeg Postal almost the same time. He became a good friend. As we both love to travel the world. We also worked together with I&I and we were partners. He often talked about his wife Pat and his children. Which he loved dearly. He was very proud of them. He had a very dry sense of humour which I will never forget. He will be missed dearly. I think of him often when I'm travelling wondering if he and his wife Pat have even been here where I am. I'm sorry this is late but I just heard of this now. RIP my good friend. Thank you for the laughs. - Posted by: Philip Houghton (Friend/ co worker) on: Jun 10, 2024

• I met Victor 17 years ago when I started with CBSA and he quickly became one of my favorite co-workers. From belting out Amy Winehouse, to his floral glasses, he always made me smile. I asked him what his plan was for retirement, and he told me his was going to grow his hair out and get into trouble. So I really hope that happened. My deepest condolences to Victor’s family, he was truly one of a kind. I will never forget him. Thanks for all of your kindness Victor. Xo - Posted by: Amy Wainwright (Colleague) on: Nov 15, 2023

• In the last years of Uncle Victor's life, I had the privilege of speaking with him on several occasions to glean information about our shared family history. He had a fantastic memory, and an ability to recall the names of people who were part of that story 90 years ago! Prayers and hugs to Auntie Pat ❤️ - Posted by: Jasmine Lysenko (Niece) on: Sep 13, 2023
