We never met your parents, but from what Bob has shared in our many conversations over the past several years, we would have enjoyed them. I am sure that we would have enjoyed your Father as we also enjoy Sports events, specifically NFL Football. We know that the family will miss your Father. Be strong during this difficult time and please do not hesitate to call if your need to talk. Your entire family, especially your Mother, will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Victor, the road to eternal happiness is finally here for you. Your loss and the tears that we're shedding are ever present, but one day, as we remember you, your generosity, your love and your infectious laugh and smile, we too will be at peace.

Rest in peace in God's love.

We are so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

We will certainly miss you Dad. It was so very hard to loose you so unexpectedly. I know you are at peace now. I believe that God looked down on you, and then looked down on Mom, and looked at the road ahead of you both, and said, no, this is too hard to bear and called you home. I know you will be watching over us. God bless and keep you Dad.

Dad, I was so proud and honored to become a part of the Wishneski family on October 4, 2008 and you welcomed me with open arms. I'm so glad we had 3 weeks this July on vacation. I will miss you terribly and loved you so much. Thanks for being so kind and good to me the last 11 years. I know you are walking without pain now, maybe enjoying a glass of wine and watching all your sports somewhere up there in the clouds, but most of all I know you're still going to be watching over your Sib.
