Victor was committed to serve above and beyond the call of duty as a District Manager and he was recognized as a faithful employee for over 30 years on April 25, 2013.

Victor was one of the most honest, hard-working people you could meet. He was a fun, loving, kind, and a good-hearted man. He enjoyed watching his Dallas Cowboys and San Antonio Spurs. Victor loved singing, dancing, music and everything related to it. He would often get up and dance during commercial breaks. He was proud that he was able to teach his daughters how to dance. In the last few months, he had started to learn how to play guitar by teaching himself. Victor had recently acquired his motorcycle license and looked forward to purchasing a motorcycle.
