Victor was a retired NYPD Officer; most recently working at the Warwick Valley High School as a security officer.
His family statement reads: “Victor was a loving and devoted husband, father and son. He was a determined person; when he put his mind to completing a task, no matter how difficult, he would stay with it until its completion. He played football in high school and college. He was an avid Jets fan and a fan of Army football. He loved the game and watching without him will be a sad experience. He made them fun for all of us.”
Victor is survived by his wife Diane; daughters Cristina and Victoria, all of Warwick; father Victor and mother Sandra.
